What is Philanthropy?



Philanthropy is an enduring and important investment in your community - one that pays tangible benefits by improving lives and providing opportunities where none may have existed before.


 

The flexibility of the Community foundation enables you, as the donor, to bridge generations with your charitable gifts. The Community Foundation can manage a fund so that your charitable wishes will be honored both today and decades from now, regardless of changes among local organizations.

You may name your fund, establish a fund in anonymity, make your gift to the unrestricted endowment or choose a field of interest. You may even designate specific organization as recipients. Your fund will be invested for the long-term results and enjoy advantageous tax treatment.

Many people build their funds over several years, timing contribution to fit their personal and financial plans. You may wish to start a fund with an initial outright gift of cash, securities or other marketable assets, supplementing it later with additional gifts and/or through a life income plan or bequest.
