The
community foundation idea is simple: Anyone
may use it to give something back to the community.
Assets
that you donate to the foundation create one
of several types of funds to support your charitable
goals. We offer you a full menu of planned giving
options to tailor your gift.
You
can create a fund in honor of someone you love
or to celebrate a special event. You can direct
your gift broadly or narrowly to issues you
care about or to wherever the needs are greatest.
However you give, your gift can change lives-today
and in the future.
We
use professionals to invest and manage our assets.
Our board is made up of local citizens who know
the community. And our staff can help you create
the gift that makes the difference you want.
We
offer you power and flexibility in charitable
giving without the paperwork, time and expenses
associated with running your own private foundation.
We can help you set up a fund that will maximize
both your tax advantages and your impact in
the community-now and forever.
Here
are some ways we can help you:
- Managing the
fund, overseeing its investment and maintaining
tax records
- Filing tax returns
and providing an independent audit
- Providing the
services of experienced grantmakers who know
the community, its needs and its organizations
- Ensuring that
grants are always awarded in the name of your
fund
- Issuing regular financial
reports detailing the status of the fund
