Current Giving
Getting started on your giving journey is simple. At the center of our work are charitable individuals and families, and the causes they care about. Our Donor Services advisors are here to learn about your passions and goals, then develop a personalized plan for a charitable fund that meets your objectives.
"The concept of a Donor Advised Fund really makes sense to us, in terms of having a charitable tool to be able to fund future gifts, and have the money that we deposit grow with the market."
HOW IT WORKS
Meet with one of our Donor Services advisors to share your charitable goals. Your attorney or financial advisor can join the discussion.
Create a named, personalized charitable fund at The Columbus Foundation by completing a simple application and making an irrevocable, tax-deductible donation of $10,000 or more to establish the fund ($50,000 or more to establish a Scholarship Fund).
Recommend how your fund is invested and benefit from tax-free growth.
Distribute grants from your fund to support the causes and nonprofits you are passionate about anywhere in the United States.
Become a member of The Columbus Foundation’s donor community. We strive to create an experience for you through events, publications, and personal connections that help maximize the impact of your charitable investments.
