Working With Private Foundations


NCCF has had successful partnerships with donors and private foundations that have made contributions to the community foundation, with the request that the gift benefit a specific not-for-profit organization as a pass-through grant.

These arrangements are discussed with Foundation staff in advance and approved by the Board of Directors. If you are interested in learning more about this charitable option, please call the Foundation office.
