Tax Advantaged and Professional
Contributions to Crossroads Community Foundation qualify for maximum income, gift and estate tax deductions. We can receive many types of assets, and will work with your advisors to incorporate your charitable wishes into an estate or financial plan. Professionalism and experience in investments and grantmaking assure maximum impact on community needs now and in the future.

Recognition or Anonymity
You may choose to receive recognition for your giving or remain completely anonymous.

Simple and Flexible
A new fund can be established with a simple agreement, usually in one meeting. Almost any type of charitable giving can be accomplished through a fund at Crossroads Community Foundation, whether you want to support a specific organization or a broad range of interests. Grants can be made to any nonprofit organization in the name of your fund or anonymously.

Community Knowledge
Crossroads Community Foundation's staff knows our 18-county region, its needs and its assets. The Foundation staff works closely with hundreds of nonprofits to improve community life and address challenges. They are available to share this knowledge and help customize a giving program that is rewarding for donors and meaningful for the community.

Accountable and Permanent
Crossroads Community Foundation is managed by a professional staff and active board of volunteers who are charged with the stewardship of each donor's charitable intent and the public interest. Endowment funds are managed so that gifts made today will provide benefits to our region for years to come.

Convenient and Efficient
Each fund is maintained separately, but pooling funds for investment and administration increases efficiency. We write and mail checks, monitor results, and handle reporting, legal and audit requirements. When compared to establishing and administering a private foundation, Crossroads Community Foundation offers increased flexibility and deductibility for gifts.
