Why invest in The Community Foundation for Montgomery County? There are many good reasons:
Sound Asset Management
CFMC's parent organization, The Community Foundation for the National Capital Region, currently manages more than $360 million in assets -- $20.5 million of which is CFMC’s alone.
Tax-Smart
Becoming a member of our donor family offers an easy way for you to accomplish your charitable dreams. As our partner in giving, you receive the simplicity and tax advantages of a public charity combined with the personal recognition, involvement and flexibility of a private foundation.
Cost-Savings
If each individual fund operated independently and had to recreate our services on its own, the price tag would be enormous. But each of our funds shares the costs of a knowledgeable, service-oriented staff and expert investment advisors. The result? Significant savings for your clients.
Convenience
We make charitable giving easy. Using our website, donors can make grants, add to their fund, and check fund balances 24 hours/day. The Community Foundation performs due diligence on nonprofit organizations, issues grant checks and award letters, and issues quarterly fund activity reports. We also offer our Philanthropic Advisory Services for even more comprehensive assistance.
