Community
foundations provide each donor a unique giving experience, tailored
to suit his or her situation and goals. Here are the basics - how you
can create a fund. For details, contact the Foundation office.
- 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 and will
grow over time. Grants addressing community needs will be made forever.
