DONOR OPTIONS

Your clients have several options to consider as they explore giving through The Community Foundation.  These include determining:
  • the type of grantmaking 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 help them explore the advantages a community foundation can offer.  More details on this issue can be found in Private Foundation Options.
