What are the benefits of utilizing the services of a community foundation?
Community foundations are rapidly becoming the philanthropic method of choice for their ease, flexibility, maximum tax advantages, and knowledge of community needs. As a depository for charitable funds, a community foundation manages charitable gifts from individuals, groups, corporations and other foundations. As the steward of endowed funds, a community foundation either acts on your behalf to place funds where community needs are greatest or considers your distribution recommendations. Working with a community foundation allows you full access to its extensive grant making resources and knowledge. As a grant maker, a community foundation serves as a catalyst for charitable activity. By granting funds where the needs are greatest, a variety of different organizations and initiatives are greatly enhanced. The Staff of the Cass County Community Foundation is available to assist donors and professional advisors with a variety of services. Essentially, our staff is your staff.
