How can I recommend a nonprofit gift without recommending a specific nonprofit?
Professional advisors are often faced with a delicate dilemma: you want to discuss the many benefits of charitable giving with your clients, but you want to avoid recommending specific charitable causes or organizations. Fortunately, the Community Foundation for Muskegon County is a simple solution. A community foundation is a single, trusted vehicle your clients can use to address the issues they care about most, while gaining maximum tax benefit under state and federal law. We offer a variety of giving options—including the ability to set up a charitable fund in your client’s name. Your clients can suggest grants to their favorite nonprofits each year during their lifetimes and designate one or more organizations to receive grants in perpetuity. It’s just one way we can help you help your clients achieve their charitable goals.
