Structure, Flexibility, and Maximum Impact
Simplicity: Rather than keeping track of charitable donation receipts throughout the year, you can make one easy, tax-deductible gift to your fund (like a charitable checking account) and CFT will vet nonprofits, provide administrative support, and grant to nonprofits at your request.
Family Philanthropy/Customized Legacy Planning to Maximize Tax Benefits: We specialize in customization for long-term legacy planning across multiple generations of givers. We’ll work with you and/or your advisors to create a personalized, tax-advantaged giving plan.
Personal Concierge: You’ll have a dedicated relationship manager at your service so you can leverage CFT’s expertise and community knowledge, giving you a dedicated resource for your charitable efforts.
Expertise with Complex Assets: Rely on our experts to take care of the review, receipt, and management of the full range of your non-cash assets to help you reach your charitable goals.
Community of Givers: You’ll join a network of like-hearted givers, with access to our GiveWisely resources, volunteer opportunities, educational events, and nonprofit site visits.
Giving Plans/Advanced Grantmaking Support: We can help you develop a custom plan for your giving to reach your charitable goals—no matter what they are. Our team can also support you through large, multi-year, data-driven grantmaking and reporting.
