Agency funds are simple and easy to set up.
Partnering with the Community Foundation on a fund to benefit your agency’s mission results in increased visibility provided by being a part of a larger giving community. Additionally, partner agencies have access to enhanced gift acceptance, planned giving and fund development tools to help grow their funds.
Continued consolidation among financial institutions means even the most community-minded bankers and advisers cannot guarantee their clients’ funds will always be managed locally. Community Foundation funds, however, provide that local anchor forever. Serving the Mahoning Valley and governed by a board comprised solely of local community leaders, the Community Foundation will always provide charitable impact here.
Additionally, partnering with a public charity ensures your organization’s charitable objectives are mirrored in the work of the Community Foundation. Rather than contributing to shareholders’ returns, your organization is supporting CFMV’s grantmaking, capacity building for nonprofits like yours and community leadership projects, all of which impact the Mahoning Valley and those you serve each day.
