We can create a customized corporate philanthropy program specifically designed for your business and the needs of employees. The flexibility of our service delivery means companies can outsource their entire charitable giving program, or just a portion of it to the business services staff for expert management and maximum impact.

Benefits of our services include:

  • Knowledgeable staff with in-depth grantmaking and corporate giving knowledge to help develop your corporate philanthropy program and strategy.
  • An array of investment options all of which are carefully selected and managed as part of our $1.5 billion portfolio.
  • The opportunity to name your corporate advised fund and issue grants in the company’s name or anonymously, according to your preference.
  • Training for your employee giving committee on how to read and evaluate grant proposals.
  • Custom reports of your grantmaking activity.
  • Direct connection to local communities and the needs of the region.
  • Quick and easy online services, including the ability to recommend grants and review monthly fund statements through a secure site 24/7.
  • Grants administration and processing. We can issue checks to your chosen charities and handle deposits into the fund you advise.
  • Exclusive educational and networking events for our corporate partners.
  • An informative e-newsletter developed for our corporate fund advisors.

A corporate advised fund may be opened with a gift of $25,000 or more. A range of assets, including stock and real estate, may be used to establish or add to a corporate advised fund. The community foundation is a pioneer in using pre-IPO stock to create corporate giving programs, and we can easily assist with that gift option.
