Giving Through the Community Foundation

Becoming a Donor


People don’t give to the Community Foundation but through us to support the causes they care about.

 

We work hard to make giving easy and meaningful for donors and the causes they care about by:

 

 

  • Accepting a wide variety of gift types and types of funds;
  • Providing easy set-up and administration of your fund.  You get the joy of giving while we do the research, paperwork, grant follow-up and reporting;
  • Involving you personally. We’ll help you learn about the issues of most importance to you and will connect you with like-minded organizations and programs;
  • Sharing our community needs expertise; and
  • Endowing funds so that your charitable wishes create a permanent legacy.

 

Three easy steps to making a gift:

 

 

  1. Think about how you want your gift to make a difference;
  2. Think about what type of gift you want to make (cash, stock, property, life insurance, etc.); and
  3. Contact the Community Foundation to discuss your gift idea. We will work out the details together, and include your professional advisor, if you choose.
