Plan to Benefit Your Community, Your Family, and You

Would you like to improve your community?
Would you like to involve your family?
Would you like to ensure your legacy in the future?

When you give through the Coastal Community Foundation (CCF), you create a permanent legacy to benefit your community both today and long after you are gone. CCF will be happy to work with you and your professional advisor to create plan that best suits your charitable giving goals.

You have a choice of several funds you can create.  The Donor-Advised Fund is the most popular choice of fund.  It provides the greatest flexibility and involvement and allows you to recommend grants to any charity you wish to support - both local and beyond.  Let CCF take care of all the paperwork, while you enjoy the fun of giving.

Choose Ways that Suit You and Your Family

You can make outright gifts to existing funds or create a new fund to benefit an area of personal interest to you. You may choose from seven types of funds. With a Donor-Advised fund you can designate family members as successor advisors.

Create Your Own Plan
You can create any fund with cash (check or credit card), publicly-traded securities, shares in a private business, mutual fund gifts, retirement plan assets, savings bonds, real estate, insurance policies, and tangible personal property.

Coastal Community Foundation Can Help You Make It Happen
CCF can help you make a real impact on your community because we know your local nonprofit organizations and understand the needs of your community.
