Permanence—Community foundations are the caretakers for permanent funds that will continue to meet the needs they are designed to address well into the future. Donors can be assured that their charitable wishes will be permanently fulfilled.
Tax Advantages—Gifts to community foundations are accorded the most favorable tax treatment available for charitable gifts under the Internal Revenue Code.
Recognition—Unless a donor requests anonymity, the name of the Fund from which a gift is made is always identified to grant recipients.
Investment Expertise—Donors can feel secure that the funds they establish will be professionally invested and will yield a continuing return for charity.
Giving Options—Donors have the flexibility to realize virtually any charitable objective by choosing among the variety of fund options.
Commemoration—A donor may give a gift in his or her name, memorialize another person, or draw attention to a charitable field or activity.
Simplicity—Many different types of assets are acceptable as contributions, and a minimum of documentation is required to create a fund within a community foundation.
