Fund Options

This is the simplest, most convenient way to start a fund or add to an existing one. Your initial gift of $25,000 or more can start a fund. Gifts of any size may be added to an existing fund.

Appreciated securities, such as highly appreciated stock, are accepted gifts and may be deductible as a charitable contribution. Capital gains taxes can be avoided in most cases, and deductions can be taken immediately and carried forward for up to five years.

You can turn your home, vacation home, business property or land into a charitable gift. Please note that philanthropic conversations should start as soon as possible with this type of asset. Contact our team today!

IRAs and other qualified retirement plans can contribute to certain fund types at CFF.

Designate CFF as the owner and irrevocable beneficiary of a life insurance policy, and you may be eligible for an immediate itemized tax deduction as well as deductions on future premiums.

Set aside a gift to a fund at CFF in your will or trust. We help you create a plan for your gift with no need to update your will or trust after CFF has been named as a beneficiary.

When you transfer the assets of a private foundation to create a donor advised fund at CFF, you free yourself from administrative tasks and have a team of experts to assist you in your strategic philanthropic goals. Your foundation can retain its name, purpose and grantmaking discretion. We take care of the administrative functions, reporting and financial management.
