Simplicity...

"The community foundation is an organization to give money through, not an organization to give money to."

George Bennett
Former President, NCCF

Simplicity

A gift to the Foundation will simplify your charitable giving. One contribution may address a number of different needs and benefit many charitable organizations in the community. You are relieved of the problem of identifying those agencies which address your specific purposes.

 

Security

Each Fund’s assets are managed by investment professionals according to specific guidelines set by the Foundation’s Board of Directors. Regular review is conducted by the Investment Committee which is comprised of a diverse group of financially experienced community leaders.

 

Tax Benefits

The Noble County Community Foundation, Inc. is a public foundation under federal tax law and your contribution qualifies for maximum deductibility for income, gift and estate tax purposes.

 

Accountability

All receipts and expenditures are independently audited and fully disclosed to the public. There is no family control or special interest control.

 

Flexibility

The Foundation has the ability to address the changing charitable needs of the community as they arise. If the original purpose of your gift becomes impractical or obsolete, the Board of Directors is empowered to redirect it to related purposes without the expense or delay of court action.

 

Perpetuity

Your gift to the community is administered by the Foundation and becomes part of a perpetual pool of charitable dollars and its income continues through the years to satisfy your philanthropic purposes. Your gift can never lapse, unless you designate otherwise.

 

Economy

The Foundation operates with a small professional staff. Administrative expenses are covered by a modest charge against the market value of each Fund and by donations made to help meet such expenses.
