Our
non-profit database is a resource to help donors
learn about the non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations in Northwest
Missouri. Through the database, donors are able to search multiple
fields of interest to connect them with organizations. By
connecting donors to the causes they care about we are able to make
introductions that organizations do not have the time and manpower
to do on their own.
10 Reasons to
Establish a Fund with the Community Foundation of Northwest
Missouri
-
Flexibility and Convenience:
Community Foundations are extremely flexible in the variety of
funds offered, as well as types of assets that may be used to
start a fund. In most cases, a simple document is all that is
needed to establish a fund.
-
Your gift will keep on giving. The
fund you establish will benefit the community now and in future
years.
-
Your gift may be designated for a
specific purpose. When you establish a fund you may specify
its purpose or purposes.
-
Gifts will be made in the name of your
choice. You may choose any name you wish for the fund you
establish. Funds may be increased at any time by additional
gifts. Grants from the fund you established will always be
recorded in the name of the fund, a lasting symbol of your
caring.
-
Contributions ease your tax burden.
Contributions made to the Foundation quality for maximum
deductibility for income, gift and estate tax purposes. In the
case of a donor-advised fund, the benefactor receives tax
benefits in the year the gift is given and then may suggest
grant distributions from the fund over a longer period of time.
-
All funds are professionally managed.
Funds are pooled for investment purposes, giving donors the
advantage of a diversified investment mix and economies of scale
in investments and fees. The Board of Directors reviews
investment performance on a regular basis to ensure that
community philanthropy is being well served.
-
The cost to administer funds is kept
low. Administrative fees are never more than one percent of
the fund’s annual market value.
-
Accountability. The Foundation is
publicly accountable. Annual reporting through an independent
audit and filing of tax returns, public disclosure of all grant
activities and careful selection of Board members assure the
continued proper use of funds.
-
Access to expertise. Through
regular contact with the non-profit community, the staff and
board have obtained a great deal of knowledge that is regularly
shared with interested donors.
-
Permanence. The Community
Foundation of Northwest Missouri is a permanent part of the
region. Donors can be assured that their contributions for the
community good will always be used in the public interest and
with the donor’s intent in mind.
