GIVING

Benefits of Being A BCF Donor

As our giving partner, you enjoy the convenience and tax benefits of a public charity while also benefiting from the personal recognition, involvement, and flexibility typically associated with a private foundation.

You’ll also have access to expert strategic guidance on tackling community challenges, maximizing the effectiveness of your contributions. And because we are here forever, a perpetual source of funding will be available to support the issues you are passionate about.

Why Give Through the Barrow Community Foundation?

We make it easy!

Setting up a Fund is straightforward, with a simple governing document that takes less than an hour to prepare. We’ll guide you through every step of the process. Giving should be a rewarding experience, not one weighed down by tax complexities and administrative tasks. You can create a charitable fund without the need to navigate the intricacies of forming a nonprofit corporation or family foundation. Our expert management makes achieving your goals simple and hassle-free.

Plenty of flexibility!

We’re proud to offer flexible services that fit your charitable goals. You can set up a Fund to support the causes you care about, help address the community’s greatest needs, or focus on a broad area of interest. You can also contribute to an existing fund or make an unrestricted donation, and our Board of Directors will use it to make a positive impact in the community on your behalf.

It’s an efficient and cost-effective way to make an impact on your community!

We’re committed to making your charitable giving as effective as possible. If your Fund had to operate on its own, the costs would be high. Instead, your Fund shares the expense of a skilled staff, solid financial management, and a well-managed investment strategy. You’ll get the support you need without the heavy cost, with dedicated staff working to help achieve your goals.
