When our clients seek advice on where to make charitable contributions in Central New York, The Community Foundation is always at the top of the list. With its unique insight into the current needs of our community, knowledge of hundreds of local nonprofit organizations and prudent investment guidelines, the Community Foundation offers real benefits for anyone with charitable intentions.
Donors reap the benefits of a nationally recognized investment consultant who performs well in unpredictable investment environments. In addition, knowledgeable staff work closely with donors and their advisors to implement gifting plans that decrease the burdens of income, capital gains and estate taxes. The Community Foundation’s donor advised funds are popular with individuals who wish to establish a named family fund during their lifetimes and increase it with a contribution at the time of death.
We are committed to making Central New York a better place for all who live in this beautiful region. We must insure that the charitable organizations that support our community have the necessary resources to succeed. For our clients and attorneys, I know that the Community Foundation is Where the Smart Money Gives.
