As the year draws to a close, you may be wrapping up projects, making holiday plans and setting your out of office email. But for community foundations, the end of the year is the busy season thanks to generous donors who leverage year-end giving. 

At Greater Cincinnati Foundation (GCF), we connect generous people with purpose to build thriving families and communities across an eight-county region in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. Many people know us as a grant maker, funding nonprofits of all shapes and sizes across the region. Grantmaking is a large part of our work, but what you may not know is that the staff at GCF is also a team of experts in tax-wise giving strategy, with over sixty years of experience. Our dedicated team of philanthropic advisors are leaders in generating philanthropic impact.

If your understanding of terms like gift bunching, qualified charitable distributions, legacy and estate planning, and donor advised fund is limited – you’re not alone! The team at GCF is here to help you make smart decisions that align with your values and create a legacy that can live on for years to come. Take action today to create the vibrant and opportunity-rich community you want to see tomorrow.
