Phil­an­thropy is unique­ly per­son­al. It reflects your aspi­ra­tions and val­ues. It express­es your human­i­ty and your empa­thy. It’s good for your health, your heart, and your soul.

But how can you be cer­tain you’ll make the most impact with your con­tri­bu­tions? At the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion we can help you make your char­i­ta­ble giv­ing pur­pose­ful and effec­tive. Our expe­ri­enced staff pro­vides insight into com­mu­ni­ty needs and pru­dent due dili­gence. Whether you’re mak­ing an annu­al gift or cre­at­ing an endow­ment, we offer flex­i­ble giv­ing options, pro­fes­sion­al invest­ment man­age­ment and sim­pli­fied admin­is­tra­tion. The ben­e­fits are great. The rewards are priceless.

The Giv­ing Process

We make it easy to make your gen­eros­i­ty count.
Let’s get started!

  1. Define Your Char­i­ta­ble Objec­tives
    Iden­ti­fy where and how you want to make a dif­fer­ence. Decide how involved you (and fam­i­ly mem­bers or advi­sors) want to be both finan­cial­ly and in terms of participation.
  2. Deter­mine Your Finan­cial Objec­tives
    Are you look­ing for any tax or estate plan­ning ben­e­fits? If so, we can help you with infor­ma­tion about the advan­tages of dif­fer­ent types of gifts so that you can fit your phil­an­thropy into your finan­cial plans for opti­mal effect.
  3. Cre­ate or Con­tribute to a Fund
    Once you’ve come up with answers for Steps 1 and 2, we will work with you to cre­ate a fund that meets your objec­tives. Or, if there is an exist­ing fund that meets your needs, your con­tri­bu­tions will not require a new fund agreement.

This annu­al event is a nation­al mod­el for col­lab­o­ra­tive fundrais­ing. Old Bill’s increas­es the impact of con­tri­bu­tions to par­tic­i­pat­ing local non­prof­its with match­ing gifts from Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill and our CoChal­lengers. Since 1997, Old Bill’s has inspired thou­sands to give millions.

Tax Deductions

Tax Deductions

Dona­tions you make to the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion qual­i­fy for the max­i­mum avail­able char­i­ta­ble deduc­tion in the year the gift is made. We also offer solu­tions to help reduce your estate-tax liability.

Giv­ing Options

We accept cash dona­tions as well as a vari­ety of oth­er assets. From planned giv­ing options — to oth­er orga­ni­za­tions or our very own Lega­cy Soci­ety — to set­ting up funds, we offer a vari­ety of easy and secure giv­ing options.

We can help you under­stand the ben­e­fits of dif­fer­ent types of gifts and the most effec­tive way to apply them. And we are flex­i­ble – if you have ideas of your own, please inquire. We are here to make sure your giv­ing makes an impact.
