Abbotsford Community Foundation can add value to a Charity's existing work. As a planned giving agency we empower Abbotsford's full spectrum of community building charities.
Each charity has it's own mission and strategies and programs to deliver to specific beneficiaries. Most charities raise funds on an annual basis and depend on donor's current cash flow. Abbotsford Community Foundation can set up a long-term endowment fund for each charity and approach the same donors to contribute asset-based contributions.
This enables donors to make donations in the short term or the long term. It even expands the donor base to people who find it difficult to make a donation, but can make long-term plans for asset-based donation.
Some of the ways this is possible is through estate planning, insurance premiums, and financial instruments such as stocks and bonds or real estate.
Abbotsford Community Foundation makes it possible for this kind of giving to be easy because we have the templates that make it as simple as one piece of paper. We have developed relationships with the allied professionals who give advice for tax, legal, estate planning and other financial benefits.
