Fulton County Community Foundation
works with donors to create the kind of fund that best reflects their
charitable dreams, as well as optimizes their tax benefits. Donors often
remark at how easy it is to create a fund.
There are lots of
vehicles to fulfill your charitable goals. However, when a donor
works with the Community Foundation to create a fund—they aren't helping
an investment firm with their bottom line. They are helping all of Fulton
County. This is because the Community Foundation works to support
the entire community—not just itself.
People of all means can
leave a lasting impact on the community because the Community Foundation
invests all gifts, regardless of size so they continue to grow…and our
communities reap the benefits. We make it simple for your gift to grow,
whether you wish to contribute to an existing fund or if you want to create
your own.
