Top Ten Reasons

Ten Reasons to Give Through Your Community Foundation

1.  We are a local organization with deep roots in the community.
2.  We have broad expertise on community issues and needs.
3.  We provide highly personalized service tailored to your charitable and financial interests.
4.  Our funds help people invest in the causes they care about most.
5.  We accept a wide variety of assets, and can facilitate even the most complex forms of giving.
6.  We partner with professional advisors to create highly effective approaches to charitable giving.
7.  We offer maximum tax advantage for most gifts under state and federal law.
8.  We multiply the impact of gift dollars by pooling them with other gifts and grants.
9.  We build endowment funds that benefit the community forever and help create personal legacies.
10. We are a collaborative community leader, coordinating resources to create positive change.

And, I can’t resist one more:
11. It’s easy.

Really, it is.  Call me to set up an appointment in which I will give you full attention to learning about your philanthropic objectives.  Then, without any pressure, I’ll give you some options and help you outline a plan to meet those objectives through an endowed gift.  Whether it’s a scholarship fund or a grant fund, the entire process is straightforward and can be accomplished in very little time.  And, you don’t have to be wealthy to have your own named, endowment fund.  

If you’ve ever given any thought to such planned giving, let me know and I will help you with the process so it will be one less thing on your list!
