At the Shiawassee Community Foundation (ShiaCF), we believe in the power of community and the extraordinary impact we can achieve together. Whether you’re considering a straightforward donation or exploring more complex giving strategies, we are here to guide you through every step of the process. By partnering with us, you can maximize the tax benefits of your generosity, ensuring that your contributions make the greatest possible impact.
A Variety of Funds for Every Cause
Supporting a wide range of interest areas and organizations is at the heart of what we do. Our funds help ShiaCF collaborate with community partners and nonprofits to identify local needs, priorities, and opportunities for innovative solutions. We are firm believers that ‘unrestricted’ funds provide maximum community impact. They offer organizations the flexibility they need to fulfill their missions while ensuring accountability and transparency.
Field of Interest and Donor-Advised Funds
If you have a specific cause you’re passionate about—like early childhood education—or a broader impact area such as arts and culture, our Field of Interest and Donor Advised Funds are perfect for you. These funds allow donors to focus their giving on meaningful areas, and ShiaCF utilizes these contributions to award grants to local organizations and programs that are making a real difference.
Nonprofit Endowment Funds
Do you have a favorite nonprofit or community organization you want to support? Our Nonprofit Endowment Funds let you establish a designated endowment, creating a lasting income source that benefits the agency for years to come. This is a powerful way to ensure your support continues to make an impact long into the future.
Scholarship Funds
We are committed to expanding college access and boosting graduation rates for students in Shiawassee County through our Scholarship Funds. Investing in education can help pave the way for future generations to succeed.
Enhance an Existing Fund
In addition to establishing new funds, you can contribute to various established funds that support specific local nonprofits or address broader community needs. Your contributions will give the foundation the flexibility to respond to the most pressing issues as they arise, ensuring we meet our community’s evolving needs.
A Variety of Giving Options
We offer a range of giving options to accommodate your preferences. Whether you donate online with a credit card, contribute stocks or mutual funds, leave a legacy through your will or estate, or make a traditional cash or check gift, we are here to make the process as seamless as possible.
