Confidentiality Policy

Fundraising Policy
Core to the Community Giving Foundation mission is promoting charitable giving. While the Foundation provides charitable tools and fund administration to promote giving, it does not have the capacity to operate fundraising events for its component funds. The IRS has developed strict requirements that impact any fundraising. This policy, which applies to all current and future funds, is an important resource and guide to protect the Foundation, fundholders, and donors. For more information, view the Policy here.
Gift Acceptance and Acknowledgment Policy
By providing guidelines for accepting various types of gifts for different types of funds, Community Giving Foundation uses this policy to serve the best interests of all stakeholders. The policy was established to assure that each gift to the Foundation is structured to provide maximum benefits to the community, the donor, the Foundation, and the beneficiaries of the Foundation's charitable programs and activities.
