Simplify Your Giving
With a single gift of $10,000 or more your company can open a Corporate Advised Fund at CFAAC, maximizing the benefits for your business and further engaging your employees. It's like having your own private foundation, only without the hassle and expense.

Make an Impact
As your partner in philanthropy, CFAAC will work with your company’s senior management to launch and grow a philanthropy program that aligns with your strategic business goals ensuring the good you do in the community boosts your company’s brand and impact.

Consult with Experts
CFAAC distributes nearly $4 to $6 million annually to a variety of nonprofit organizations. We monitor all areas of community need—including human services, education, the environment, healthcare, the arts and economic development.

Employee Engagement
You can outsource all of your giving or just a portion of it. We can facilitate an Employee Advisory Committee to review proposals and advise on grant distributions. Anyone can contribute to your fund at any time using a variety of assets, and all gifts qualify for an immediate tax deduction. This is particularly useful during times of disaster when both, employees and the company, may wish to combine their giving to help those in need.

Choose Your Nonprofits
CFAAC staff researches each nonprofit your company is interested in supporting to ensure it is in good standing with regulators and then issues the check from your fund. We provide you with the resources to help you stay informed about your fund 24-7. Through our website, you can access your fund statement, make grant recommendations, view gifts to the fund, as well as grants made over time.
