Community Donor Advised Funds

Would your community like to have its own permanent fund to support important local projects?  If so, consider a Community Donor Advised Fund (CDAF).  

Community Donor Advised Funds operate as mini-community foundations.  They are created with contributions from community members within a specified area and invested for growth.  The income is used to support worthwhile community projects.  A committee of local individuals recommends where to direct distributions from the fund. 

CDAFs help communities excel in a number of ways.  First, they provide a source of funds for community projects and for community organizations.  Second, because the funds are permanent, they help the community now and in the future.  And, they provide donors with a tax-deductible and convenient way to meet their charitable goals locally.  (It is important to note that CDAFs are not meant as a replacement for funding offered by the NCCF, they are merely a complement.) 

To support communities interested in establishing such funds, the NCCF offers matching support of up to $12,500.  The NCCF also provides technical and administrative support.
