Donor Options

Your clients have several options to consider as they explore giving through the Community Foundation.  These include determining:
  • the type of fund that best meets their charitable giving goals
  • the type of gifts to make as they initiate and grow the fund, and
  • how they will involve themselves, and other family members, in the giving process.
Detailed information about all donor options are available in our section titled Becoming a Donor.

If your client is considering the creation of a private foundation, we strongly encourage you to have them explore the advantages the Community Foundation can offer.  More details on this issue can be found in Private Foundation Options.

Recognizing the importance of relationships established between donors and their trusted professional advisors, the Community Foundation created Charitable Investment Partners.  This program allows donors to establish funds at the Community Foundation while their assets are managed by their preferred investment consultants.

If you have questions about our donor options that have not been answered in this section, please contact Ashley Canney by phone at 515.244.0020 or email.
