This fund was originally created through the generosity of a group of Denise’s friends and co-workers at a retirement dinner held in her honor. It was then endowed by Denise and Jeffrey Martin.
The Community Foundation welcomes all donors with varied interests and giving capabilities including individuals, foundations, and corporations. The CFFC staff offers relevant investment guidance to donors, manages fund accounts, and connects donors with appropriate non-profit agencies.
We make it easy for individuals to become philanthropists by creating charitable funds. We prepare all documents, and the procedure can often be completed in one meeting. If you are interested in creating a fund, please consider the following steps:
It's also easy for charitable organizations with endowments to create an "agency" endowment fund, and the same procedures can be followed. The CFFC will hold donated funds and provide the organization with a 5% or annual market value return on investments. This allows the organization to securely plan annual budgets using a guaranteed return.
