Your partner in charitable giving

Do you want to drive positive change and achieve measurable results today and in the future for greater Birmingham? We can serve as your partner and charitable consultant.

We start by listening to what you want to accomplish with your charitable giving:

  • Do you, your family or your business want to organize and focus your giving?
  • Are you interested in tapping into the power of collective giving by pooling your charitable resources to achieve measurable results for our community?
  • Would you like to know more about charitable giving options tailored to your own financial and estate planning goals?
  • Are you looking for a philanthropic structure to articulate your values and secure a multi-generational charitable legacy?

We have the expertise and leadership in our staff and board to help you give back to greater Birmingham in ways that are meaningful to you and to the community.

As our partner in giving, you receive:

  • Simplicity and tax advantages of a public charity combined with the personal recognition, involvement and flexibility of a private foundation.
  • Access to the highest level of strategic thinking on ways to meet community challenges and make your contributions as effective as possible.
  • Easy and flexible giving options. We can work directly with you or through your attorney, accountant or financial advisor to determine the best assets  – cash, appreciated securities, business interests, real estate and more – and to establish the right kind of grantmaking fund for your needs.
  • Permanent connection to the Birmingham region, because the Community Foundation is a perpetual endowment and can provide a permanent source of support for causes or charities you care about.

We invite you to explore the possibilities and benefits for current and legacy giving in partnership with the Community Foundation. To learn more, contact Erin Stephenson.
