Donor Options

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
naming of the fund
choosing their professional advisor to manage the assets
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.
