Why Establish a Fund?

Becoming a member of the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado donor family offers an easy way for you to accomplish your charitable dreams. As a partner in giving, you receive the simplicity and tax advantages of a public charity, combined with the personal recognition, involvement, and flexibility of a private foundation. You also gain access to the highest level of strategic thinking on ways to meet community challenges to help make your contributions as effective as possible. You can be assured there will be a permanent source of funds available for issues you care about. There are few things more enjoyable in life than knowing you've had a positive, long-lasting impact on worthwhile nonprofit agencies.

Easy
Giving should warm your heart, not burden you with tax complications and ongoing administrative details. Your fund at the Community Foundation can be established with a simple governing document that requires less than an hour to prepare and complete.  A member of our staff will guide you carefully through the process, so you can establish a charitable fund without being asked to cope with the complexities of setting up a special-purpose nonprofit corporation. Accomplishing your objectives is made simple by our expert and professional management of your fund.
 
Effective
The Community Foundation of Northern Colorado takes pride in our ability to customize services to meet your charitable objectives. You may choose to establish a fund that supports specific charitable organizations or programs, the community's greatest areas of need, or a broad field of interest. You may also contribute to an existing fund or make an unrestricted gift that our Board of Directors will put to good use in the community on your behalf. Satisfaction will come from knowing that your contributions have been effective and have created positive change.

Enjoyable
We know you consider your charitable gifts to be an investment --- in your community, your church, your alma mater, or whatever causes you select. Tap into the expertise of the CFNC staff members who are available to assess grant possibilities, research a giving option, or to discuss opportunities with you. The dedicated staff of the Community Foundation cares a great deal about the impact of your gifts and will ensure that your giving experience rewards you with great satisfaction and joy.
