Building On Your Existing Relationships
If you are like many community foundations (CFs), you have already established formal partnerships or programs (like a Legacy Partner's program) to help smaller charities in your community. Like many larger organizations, you may be very interested in ways to increase major and planned gifts in your community, but lack additional time and resources.
As a community foundation, you are in a perfect position to begin a GiftCharity program. Crescendo can help develop a plan for serving the smaller charities that you are already connected to by providing a planned giving website, eNewsletters, marketing literature and software resources. You will be involved in training these smaller charities to market and close major and planned gifts to help better your community.
Two Successful Community Foundation Programs
Both Orange County and San Diego Community Foundation launched GiftCharity programs in early 2008. The programs have been enthusiastically received by GiftCharity organizations. It's anticipated that both programs will grow to 20 to 40 GiftCharities within three years, enabling the community foundations to be involved in cultivating an even great number of gifts.
