Your clients have several options to consider as they explore giving through our community foundation.  These include determining:

• the type of fund that best meets their charitable giving goal
• the type of gifts to make as they initiate and grow the fund, and

• how they will involve themselves, and other family members, in the giving process.

Detailed information about all donor options are available in our section titled Becoming a Donor.

For information about how to take advantage of the 2010 changes to Roth IRA rules, click here.

If your client is considering the creation of a private foundation, we strongly encourage you to have them explore the advantages a community foundation can offer.  More details on this issue can be found in Private Foundation Options.
