Don’t let your charitable giving feel like a burden. CCF’s solutions and services can help you maximize your giving and achieve your philanthropic goals. Take the next step to creating the change you envision.

Let CCF help you:

• Set up a fund. It’s often done in the same day with minimal paperwork. Set it up before Dec. 31 and you’ll get your tax deduction for 2009 while you make your future grants on your own schedule.
• Contribute complex gifts like real estate or stock. CCF is an expert in helping you convert assets of all types into charitable dollars. Read about the benefits of donating complex assets through a community foundation.
• Involve your family in your philanthropy. CCF can meet with you and your family to discuss a plan for giving and the roles that family members can play. If your family is together during the holidays, it’s a perfect time to share and plan for the future.
• Plan your giving. Whether you’d like to develop a philanthropic mission, learn more about strategic grantmaking or find the best nonprofits for your goals, CCF donor relations staff can help. Contact us to set up your philanthropic consultation today.

Contact Vice President of External and Donor Relations Carol Bradford at (213) 452-6266 today to get your questions answered, maximize your charitable giving and check one more thing off of your holiday to-do list.
