Community foundations provide each donor a unique giving experience, tailored to suit his or her situation and goals. For details, contact your local community foundation.
Charitable Funds — great giving options.
Charitable Instruments — how you can give.
Charitable Assets — what you can give.
You make a gift to your community foundation. You can give cash, appreciated stocks, real estate, or other assets.
The community foundation sets up a special fund in your name, in the name of your family or business, or in honor of any person or organization you choose.
You receive tax benefits in the year your gift is made.
Based on the type of fund you establish, you may be able to stay involved in the good works your gift makes possible. You can recommend an area or organization you’d like your gift to support, or rely on the community foundation’s experienced program staff to determine and address the areas of greatest need in your community.
The community foundation board issues grants in the name of the fund you establish (if you prefer, grants can be made anonymously).
We handle the administrative details.
Your gift can be placed into an endowment that is invested over time. Earnings from your fund are used to make grants addressing community needs. Your gift – and all future earnings from your gift – is a permanent source of community capital, helping do good work forever.
