Giving Enhances Randolph County

Anyone can be a philanthropist, and we work hard to make giving meaningful and easy for donors. Giving in any amount to our community is an expression of your goals, values, and love for Randolph County. We value supporting the causes that mean the most to you.

The Community Foundation wants to be your partner in philanthropy. We assure you that your valuable gift, regardless of size, will make the most significant impact possible.

Here is how the Foundation helps you support the future of Randolph County:

• By accepting a wide variety of gift types (cash, stocks, life insurance, annuities).

• By endowing funds so that your charitable wishes create a permanent legacy.

• By administering the funds. You get the joy of giving while we do the research, paperwork, grant follow-up and reporting.

• By offering two fund types. You can name a fund in memoriam, or for any good reason, and then target the Scholarship Fund or the Good Deeds Fund.

Using the Community Foundation affords you the most efficient, flexible, and convenient means to support your charitable interests. It is local, low cost, flexible, and secure.

 

A Named Endowment Created By You Is Like Having Your Very Own Private Foundation, Without The Burdens

We take care of all of the administrative services you would have to employ separately, including the annual audit, IRS filings, grant evaluation and compliance, and financial reporting. 

Additionally, your endowment benefits from being invested with other Community Foundation endowment assets, resulting in lower investment fees and greater investment diversification. We can help you establish an endowment that will maximize both your tax advantages and your impact on the community. 

Finally, you direct us regarding the degree of anonymity or recognition you require and the degree of specificity in grantmaking. You can create an endowment to be named for a family member or loved one, in honor of, or as a memorial. You can direct the grants as broadly or narrowly to issues you care about, or to wherever the needs are the greatest.
