Charitable Organization Funds

A Charitable Organization Fund at the Community Foundation of Medicine Hat & Southeastern Alberta allows charitable organizations to establish a source of stable, long term cash flow.  The Community Foundation will provide:

  • Expert investment expertise and significantly higher returns made possible by pooling    your endowments with the many other Funds managed by the Foundation

  • An annual audit for your fund including the Community Foundation filing the necessary annual tax returns resulting in less administrative work

 

How it works

  • Your board determines how much you would like to invest long-term

  • Your organization works with our professional staff to complete a fund agreement

  • We set up a special fund in the name of your organization

  • Your organization receives regular statements on the fund

  • You can add to the fund at any time

  • We handle all the administrative details — including investment management and help in specifying grant disbursements — so that your organization puts assets where they’re needed

  • Your gift can be placed into an endowment that is invested over time. Earnings from your fund are used to make grants addressing community needs. Your gift — and all future earnings from your gift — is a permanent source of community capital, helping to do good work forever

 

Benefits


A charitable organization fund is a safe and simple way for your non-profit organization to establish its own endowment. Your donors can be sure that the endowed fund’s principal will not be spent and can grow over time, providing a source of lasting support.  The Community Foundation's economies of scale provide your organization with the benefits of a diverse invest­ment portfolio and low investment fees that typically come only with larger portfolios.

 

Your organization’s regular donors can leave a bequest through the Community Foundation to create a personal legacy and benefit your organization forever. The Community Foundation can facilitate a wide variety of complex planned gifts or gifts of appreciated stock or real estate. Investment management and administrative responsibilities related to the endowment are taken care of, so that your organization’s staff and volunteer hours are concentrated on fulfilling your mission.

The Community Foundation of Medicine Hat & Southeastern Alberta manages endowment funds for several Southeastern Alberta charities.
