Annual Donations
An annual monetary gift may be made to support either the Community Foundation of Randolph County in general, or specifically, to any of our funds.
Memorials
Gifts may be given in memory of or in honor of individuals, as designated by the donor. Notifications can be sent to family members upon your request.
Endowment Fund
A gift can be used to establish an endowment fund in the donor’s name. There are several types of funds in this category, such as Advised, Designated or Field of Interest.
In addition to monetary donations, the Community Foundation of Randolph County also accepts donations of property and other assets. These donations can often relieve tax burdens for those who donate, their estates or their heirs. Our professional Advisors will work with you to find the best options available for maximizing your gift’s value.
Appreciated Property
Gifts of stocks, bonds, mutual funds and real estate can result in dual tax benefits; the full value of the assets is usually deductible, with no capital gains tax paid on the appreciation.
Wills
A will bequest made to the Community Foundation of Randolph County is deductible for federal estate tax purposes and may result in additional savings on state inheritance and estate taxes.
IRAs
The gift of an IRA to the Community Foundation can, upon your death, eliminate significant income-tax liabilities for the estate.
The IRA Rollover allows people aged 70 1/2 and older to make direct transfers totaling up to $100,000 per year to qualified charities, without having to count the transfers as income for federal income tax purposes.
