Benefits to Donors
Giving to through the Siouxland Community Foundation offers distinct advantages…
SIMPLICITY & CONVENIENCE – No set-up fee, minimal paperwork, and far less time and cost than creating a private foundation. We handle all record keeping, administration, and compliance.
EFFICIENCY – One contribution can support multiple organizations and address a wide range of community needs.
PERMANENCE – Endowment gifts benefit Siouxland forever. For good. For ever.
FLEXIBILITY – Nearly any charitable intent can be achieved, with many fund types and giving options available. Gifts may include cash, securities, real estate, grain, personal property, or life insurance—and can be made during your lifetime or through your estate.
DONOR CHOICE – Decide the level of involvement that works best for you—from leaving grantmaking decisions to the Foundation, to designating specific beneficiaries, to making ongoing recommendations.
TAX BENEFITS – All contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. In many cases, gifts to a community foundation provide greater tax advantages than creating a private foundation.
ENDOW IOWA TAX CREDITS: Contributions to a permanent endowment fund may be eligible for a 25% state tax credit in addition to federal charitable deductions.
TRUSTED STEWARDSHIP – Funds are pooled for optimal investment diversification and managed by professional advisors under the oversight of our Finance Committee and Board of Directors. Each year, we publish a detailed annual report and undergo an independent audit to ensure accountability.
SHARED IMPACT – We work with you to ensure your charitable dollars support the organizations and causes you care about most.
There is so much more we’d like for you to know. For more information and ideas on ways to integrate your financial planning with charitable giving, ask your financial advisor or contact the Siouxland Community Foundation.
