We were established to enhance the quality of life in Allen, Anderson, and Woodson counties by addressing the current and future needs of our community. We strive to connect donors with local nonprofits they care about, supporting their giving strategies and helping them create lasting legacies through endowments.
We understand that every donor has different philanthropic interests and goals, which is why we help you design a giving strategy that aligns with them.
We are experts in the needs of our commmunity. Our expertise enables us to identify the most pressing needs of the community and meaningful changes in the areas that matter the most.
You can ensure your legacy endures by establishing a lasting impact at the Community Foundation. By making a planned gift, you contribute to the community in a way that reflects your name, passions, and principles for generations to come.
Community foundations offer more favorable tax deductions than private foundations. On a cash donation to one of our charitable funds a deduction of up to 60% of a donor's adjusted gross income (AGI) is allowed vs up to 50% of AGI at a private foundation.
At Your Community Foundation investment income from our funds is not taxed, private foundations have to pay up to 2% in taxes on investment income and capital gains.
The process of creating a fund at Your Community Foundation is much less expensive and simpler than a private foundation. A private foundation requires a donor to create a new organization, apply for tax-exempt status with the IRS, and pay filing, legal, and accounting fees.
Private foundations are required to distribute at least 5% of their investment assets, regardless of the amount of interest earned in a year. At Your Community Foundation, we do not have an annual distribution requirement.
