One of the richest legacies you can leave your family is a blueprint for leading a charitable, involved life. A CCF donor-advised family fund can bring your family closer, teach them about fiscal and charitable responsibilities, and provide them with an opportunity to be involved -- in a very positive way -- in their community.

The Power To Do More

The CCF is becoming the charitable community foundation of choice for many savvy donors for a variety of reasons. The CCF was started to provide a vehicle by which donors could maximize their charitable giving while taking advantage of immediate income tax benefits. The result is more and wiser charitable giving. The CCF is managed by a board of directors of community leaders and volunteers who also have legal and financial management expertise. Service makes the difference at the CCF; helpful advice and guidance are available to minimize complications and maximize your results. Your directions and wishes are always an integral part of the process. When a gift is made to a charity, the CCF will notify the charity with a letter describing your involvement, insuring that you and your family are recognized for your generosity. (Of course, should you prefer to remain anonymous, those wishes will be accommodated, too.) The fees charged by the CCF are in line with other charities offering similar services, but the CCF difference is the personal attention and expert advice you will receive.
