Is Giving Through a Community Foundation Right for Your Clients?
Community foundations manage and invest charitable funds for individuals, families, businesses,
and other nonprofit organizations. Unlike many private foundations, community foundations are
supported by a wide range of donors. What they have in common is the desire to support the work
of nonprofits, schools and other groups that address community concerns.
The Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation is one of more than 650 community foundations nationwide
and one of more than 60 in Michigan alone.
Today's donors have many options when it comes to charitable giving. We accept a wide
variety of
assets from donors, and have a number of
different fund types to help donors accomplish
their philanthropic goals.
How is AAACF different from the commercial charitable gift funds like Fidelity? We offer more
giving options at the same or lesser fees,
and with the State of Michigan Tax Credit donors can maximize
their giving. Most importantly, we're local to this community and much better positioned to
connect your clients to the causes they care about the most. Learn more about the
advantages of
community foundations.
