Your client can organize all their charitable activities through one expertly managed, cost-effective charitable vehicle. The gift qualifies for an immediate tax deduction, and your client remains actively involved by recommending grants that make the charitable impact they want. It's a simple, powerful, and highly personal approach to giving.

Provide an ongoing, sustainable revenue stream to one or more of your favorite organizations. Grants from these funds support a nonprofit in perpetuity. If the organization ceases to exist, an organization serving a similar purpose will benefit from the endowment to ensure donor intentions are honored now and always.

Identify a specific or broad interest area (such as education and youth development, arts and culture, health, etc.) that your client is passionate about supporting. The Community Foundation identifies nonprofits making the greatest impact in that area and ensures effective grantmaking within that field as the needs change over time. 

Give local students the opportunity to pursue their educational dreams through a scholarship fund at CFNEIA. Whether your client want to establish a legacy, honor a loved one, or give back to your community or their alma mater, they can create a scholarship that focuses on student needs and is uniquely their own. As the largest scholarship provider in the region outside of the university systems, we partner with donors to transform the lives of low-middle-income, first-generation, and other deserving students.
