Ways to Help Your Clients
Call on us for help in establishing a fund, selecting an investment strategy and setting up an effective grantmaking or scholarship program. We are trusted guides for giving in the North State and work with corporations, nonprofit agencies and organizations on a variety of local issues.
The Community Foundation of the North State can provide a vehicle which allows your clients to control the timing and ultimate beneficiary of their gifts. Working with the Community Foundation assures the desired tax result of a gift to a public charity but leaves your clients with the flexibility to determine the ultimate use of their funds.
Significant giving opportunities often arise when clients are making major business, personal and financial decisions. Our staff can work with you and your client to recommend opportunities for the best charitable solution for topics like:
- Year-End Tax Planning
- Preserving an Estate
- Alternative to a Private Foundation
- Strategic Giving
- Closely Held Stock
- Highly Appreciated Stock
- IRA/401k Assets funds
In many instances, setting up a donor-advised fund provides an efficient and easy alternative to setting up a private foundation; at a fraction of the time and financial outlay.
