At CFU, we help donors plan and implement estate gifts so they can shape their legacy to reflect what matters most to them. Read our blog to see 5 reasons why it may be time to update your will.

There is a lot of excitement this week in #Utah thanks to the #Olympics! Did you know CFU partnered with the Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation in 2022? The Ukrainian Olympic and Paralympic Solidarity Fund raised $432,000 to support hosting Ukrainian athletes in Utah so they could continue their training during the Ukrainian crisis. Uniquely qualified with world class Olympic training facilities, Utah rallied to provide aid for aspiring Ukrainian Olympians and Paralympians displaced by the war. The Ukrainian Olympic and Paralympic Fund not only serves as another example of Utah’s commitment to aiding individuals and families fleeing crises, but as an innovative way for our state to collaborate to provide support together. We are excited for our state and for the 2034 Olympics! Read more about our Olympic partnership: https://lnkd.in/g4SkkrCQ
