Greetings from the community foundation! 

We hope you are doing well! 

At the community foundation, we’re hard at work supporting you and your charitable giving endeavors. We hope you know you can always count on us as a guide and resource for you, no matter your situation. Whether you established a fund at the community foundation years ago or you are currently in the process of exploring establishing a fund to organize your giving, we’re here as a resource for your philanthropy. 

Here’s what’s coming up in this issue: 

• Getting into the habit of setting up regular contributions to your donor-advised fund helps your financial planning and also helps you support your favorite causes well into the future. We’re sharing tips and benefits to boost your philanthropic nest egg.

• The team at the community foundation welcomes the opportunity to meet in person, or over Zoom if that is easier for you. Charitable giving is important and everyone’s approach to philanthropy is different. We take our relationships with fund holders seriously and we strive to understand and serve your unique charitable giving priorities. Personal service is what you can expect when you meet with our team.  

• Donor-advised funds are just one of many types of funds you can establish with the community foundation. Donor-advised funds are popular because of the flexibility they offer to help you support the important work of your favorite charities. Our team stays up-to-date on the latest donor-advised fund trends and developments, and we’ll keep you up-to-date too! 

Thank you for the opportunity to work together! We are grateful! 

Angie Tatro,

CKCF CEO
