Your clients have several options to consider as they explore giving through our community foundation.  These include determining:
  • the type of fund that best meets their charitable giving goal

  • the type of gifts to make as they initiate and grow the fund, and

  • how they will involve themselves, and other family members, in the giving process.

Detailed information about all donor options are available in our section titled Becoming a Donor.


If your client is considering the creation of a private foundation, we strongly encourage you to have them explore the advantages a community foundation can offer.  More details on this issue can be found in Private Foundation Options.


If you have questions about our donor options that have not been answered in this section, please click here to Contact Us for more information.
