The Community Foundation helps donors maximize the impact of their philanthropic spirit and fulfill the unique legacy they envision.

Donors

We make giving easy, effective, and enjoyable by acting as the long-term steward of assets entrusted to us, and allow individuals, families, committees, and businesses to be engaged with their giving in ways that positively impact individuals, nonprofits, and our community as a whole.

Easy
Giving should warm your heart, not burden you with tax complications and ongoing administrative details. Your fund at the Community Foundation can be established with a simple governing document that requires less than an hour to prepare and complete. A member of our staff will guide you carefully through the process, and you won’t have to cope with the complexities of setting up a private foundation.

Effective
We take pride in our ability to customize services to meet your charitable objectives. You may choose to establish a fund that supports specific charitable organizations or programs, the community’s greatest areas of need, or a broad field of interest. You may also contribute to an existing fund or make an unrestricted gift that our Board of Directors will put to good use in the community on your behalf.

Enjoyable
We know you consider your charitable gifts to be an investment — in your community, your church, your alma mater, or whatever causes you select. Tap into the expertise of our staff, who are available to assess grant possibilities, research a giving option, or to discuss opportunities with you. We care a great deal about the impact of your gifts and will ensure that your giving experience rewards you with great satisfaction and joy.

“When our family has faced difficulty, many people have loved and supported us. We feel an obligation to return some of that love and support – both financially and in the way we live our lives.”

“Part of the way we express our gratitude for the incredible support we have received from the communities where we sell our beer is to give back to those communities through philanthropy. It is a core value that Doug, Wynne, and I share and a core value of Odell Brewing Company.” – Corkie Odell
