Donors receive a number of benefits and
incentives from charitable giving. Anyone,
regardless of wealth or position can make a
difference in the future of South Dakota by
making a donation to the SDCF. Donors can
establish their own fund, contribute to an
existing fund, or make a contribution to the
Foundation's unrestricted endowment.
-
Donors know that their charitable wishes
will be carried out in both present and
future generations. Donors are assured
that their gifts will be held in
perpetuity and administered in
accordance with their wishes. Unless
donors choose to be anonymous, their
names will be honored forever.
-
Donors receive the maximum tax benefit
from a gift to the SDCF. The Internal
Revenue Code favors community
foundations over private foundations.
-
Donors can pool gifts with other funds
within the SDCF, providing a better
investment rate of return and more
efficient management.
-
Donors can contribute gifts at any time
and to any specific charitable cause.
-
Donors can rely on the expertise and
commitment of the SDCF's professional
staff to insure that grants are made in
accordance with the donor's wishes and
to monitor grant recipients.
-
Donors can appreciate the ease in making
a gift to the SDCF. After establishing a
fund, there is no separate tax return to
file. All grant paperwork, auditing and
government reporting is handled by the
SDCF.
