Giving

Gifts of any size help strengthen our community, and many may offer tax benefits. We welcome:

• Cash and checks

• Appreciated assets, such as stock and real estate

• IRA gifts, including Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), a direct transfer from your IRA to BCF if you are 70-1/2 or older, which can count toward your required minimum distribution

• Life insurance, including death benefits and policy assignments

• Bequests through wills and trusts

Where Your Gift Goes

Undesignated gifts are added to our Endowment Fund, providing lasting support for local nonprofits and community initiatives chosen by our Board.

Create a Fund of Your Own

Donors making significant gifts can establish a permanent fund at BCF to support the organizations or causes they care about. Compared with starting a private foundation, this typically means [lower setup and administrative costs, less compliance work], and a fund that continues for generations.
