How Your Philanthropy Dollars Work Harder in a Foundation
We are building a permanent community
resource that will provide endowment
funds that will grow and benefit our
community forever.
We help donors create an individual or
family legacy and offer a simple way to
fulfill multiple charitable intents, with lowcost
administration, making us a good
alternative to private or family
foundations.
We offer personalized service, including
donor and family involvement and
education in selecting charities and
connecting donors with strategic and highimpact
funding opportunities.
We accept a wide variety of assets and
offer maximum tax advantage.
All our funds stay in the community, where
they benefit local organizations meeting a
broad range of local needs.
We can preserve donor intent even when
community issues and organizations
change.
All assets are subject to audit and annual
confirmation by an external accounting firm.
