Learn about a fund to support your organization
Whether your organization has already established a fund here at the Community Foundation, or you are exploring the possibilities, our team is committed to helping you meet the needs of the people you serve for the long term. Here are a few reminders about how the Community Foundation team can partner with you and your board of directors to keep your funds safe and support your mission:
- A fund at the Community Foundation is a cost-effective option for a nonprofit to access investment options that might not otherwise be available. Overseen by an independent board of directors made up of community leaders, the Community Foundation is built to provide the highest level of investment oversight.
- The Community Foundation can help your organization structure and accept complex gifts and hard-to-value assets.
- By having a fund at the Community Foundation, our team can step in as your behind-the-scenes back office, giving your board and staff more time to focus on your programs and donors.
- The team at the Community Foundation is adept at navigating the specific accounting standards that are unique to complex fund accounting and gift planning.
- The Community Foundation team can help establish investment policies and gift acceptance policies, making it easier for you to engage in fundraising discussions and have the time to do it.
