Anonymous Giving

Unlike a private foundation whose financial reports and tax returns are public information, a charitable fund or foundation with CCF can safeguard donor privacy at any level desired.

  • Donors may choose a fund or foundation name that ensures anonymity, ensuring their name does not appear on grant checks, financial reports or other public documents.
  • Donors may differentiate between gifts made anonymously and gifts that carry the name of the family, foundation or company.

We can also manage relations with grantees and beneficiaries, handle all mail and correspondence and much more.
