Doing Good While Doing Well
The Community Foundation provides a simple, powerful and highly personal approach to giving. It exists to help people easily and effectively support the issues they care about – immediately or through their wills.
Donors
People who give through the Community Foundation can contribute a wide variety of assets to help achieve their charitable goals and leave a legacy in a way that is meaningful to them.
Give all types of assets
Donors can give cash, appreciated stocks, real estate or other assets and receive maximum charitable and tax benefits. The CFCV can also accept unusual types of assets; sometimes donors are wealthy in unexpected ways. For more information, contact your financial advisor or the CFCV.
To the Community Foundation
Donations are received by the Community Foundation of the Chattahoochee Valley, Inc., a public 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The operation of the CFCV is certified by the Council of Foundations as meeting all national standards for community foundations.
For specific funds
From there, donations are deposited into the specific fund identified by the contributor – either as gifts to an existing fund or to create a new fund in the donor’s name or in the name of their family, a specific organization or someone they wish to honor. Funds can be endowed to exist forever or non-endowed to facilitate short-term giving.
Donor Advised - Allow donors to recommend charitable grants at any time, with no mandatory payout rate. Easy and flexible, these funds have no legal costs and no annual tax returns. Donors receive maximum tax benefits for their giving and can access learning opportunities, on-line tools and expert staff.
Designated or Organization - Guarantee ongoing support for specific charitable organizations. Endowed Designated Funds (or Organization Funds, if contributed by organizations) provide permanent funding to help sustain an organization or to supplement specific projects, taking advantage of the CFCV’s professional endowment management and investment economy of scale.
Field of Interest - Allow donors to address specific areas of interest or community needs without specifying particular recipient organizations. Scholarship - Help donors invest in the community’s future by providing scholarship support for qualified students or specific institutions.
Unrestricted - Allow the CFCV board to identify opportunities and target dollars where they will be most effective – now and in the future, when needs may change. Can be named funds and can be established to benefit specific neighborhoods, cities or counties.
Assets by Fund Type Carefully invested for growth
Endowed funds are pooled for investment purposes, maximizing diversification opportunities and returns while lowering fees.
To allow grants for good... forever
The CFCV can make grants on behalf of its donors to any charitable organization, including churches, educational and governmental institutions, United Ways and – in come cases – in support of individuals or charitable efforts that may not have a 501(c)(3).
