Why Give Through PCCF ?
The Phillips County Community Foundation offers a wide variety of options to satisfy your philanthropic goals. From establishing a donor advised fund in which you are able to have a direct say over how your funds are allocated or an unrestricted fund where you are able to leave a legacy to your community foundation and they allocate funds over the years to come as they see fit.
What better way to leave a lasting legacy than to preserve a community set to thrive for generations in the years to come. Here at PCCF, we can help you achieve this. By establishing an endowment fund, we invest those funds and only make withdrawals from the capital, not the principal; this is also called a permanent endowment fund.
Community foundations provide maximum federal and state tax benefits, tailor giving plans to meet your particular needs, and provide a more simplified and cost effective alternative to a private foundation.
Around since 2003, the Phillips County Community Foundation is an established partner with trusted staff and directors. We aim to make you and your philanthropic goals, our top priority.
We do the hard work, the foundation provides everything from grantmaking consultation, award letters, record-keeping, investing and annual reporting. We do everything that we can to make things simple, so that you don't have to.
The idea of leaving a legacy is the need or desire to be remembered for what you contributed to the world. A community foundation is an incredible vehicle for you to achieve your ambition of leaving a lasting legacy.
A donor may contribute cash or property to the foundation at any time during the year. A contribution is deemed made at the time of its delivery to the foundation in accordance with applicable law.
