Why Give Through a Community Foundation?

  • Mission Focused:Allows donors to ensure that funds are used for the designated purpose they choose. The Foundation can also help donors who do not have a charity of choice identify a nonprofit to benefit from their generosity.
  • Anonymity:Some donors wish to remain anonymous or may want to give a larger gift to one of their established charities without the individual charity knowing that they have the capacity to do so. Giving through the Foundation can protect the confidentiality of the donor.
  • Tax Advantages:For some donors, giving appreciated assets rather than direct cash contributions can reduce their tax liability.
  • Income for Donor:In some instances, donors can give appreciated assets and generate immediate or deferred income, as well as receive possible tax advantages.
Today is Giving Tuesday, and Facebook has a new way of matching donations. When you sign up to donate monthly to a nonprofit on Facebook, Meta will match 100% of your donation after you make your second monthly donation. Facebook will match up to $100 per donation, $100,000 per nonprofit and up to $7 million in total across all organizations. Facebook covers the processing fees, so every dollar you donate goes directly to Binnacle House.

Additional information about how matching works on Facebook can be found at here

Thank YOU for your generosity.

Donor Directed Giving

A donor can give some or all of your philanthropic gifts through the community Foundation. Your gifts can be anonymous allowing your to avoid solicitation from multiple charities and, in some instances, your gift can have a greater impact by combining with the resources provided by other donors.
