You can create your own charitable fund, and we’ll handle the details for you.
By starting a fund with the Homebuilding Community Foundation, you can easily and effectively support the very same charities you’re already supporting—with full credit to you, the donor—and enjoy numerous additional benefits.
With your contribution of $25,000 or more, we will establish a fund at HCF in your name. You can then recommend that grants be made from your fund at any time to any qualified nonprofit agency.
Besides having your donations linked to your name, they will also be associated with the Homebuilding Community Foundation, so our entire industry will benefit from your generosity.
By working with the Homebuilding Community Foundation, you will benefit from:
Flexibility: You can claim a tax deduction on 100 percent of your contribution in the year the contribution is made (as always, consult your tax advisor), but still recommend grants to your preferred charities in later years.
Asset Growth: The value of your fund’s capital can grow tax-free, in professionally managed investment pools.
Ease of Use: The Foundation can accept a wide variety of assets—cash, publicly traded stock, closely held stock, real estate, and bequests—as long as the contribution has a value of $25,000 or more.
Expert Advice: Program staff at the Greater Houston Community Foundation, which provides administrative and technical support, can help you identify organizations anywhere in the country that reflect your interests and concerns.
Direct, Confidential Access: You receive a quarterly statement with information on your fund. Also, details on grants and gifts is updated daily and is available to you on HCF’s website via HCF Donor Express.
