Charitable Fund Options

Midlands Community Foundation helps foster community development through charitable giving, and we are dedicated to making that process simple and accessible.

Benefits of Giving

Midlands Community Foundation promotes and provides an opportunity for donors to “invest in the power of community” in the ways that work best for individuals and organizations. By offering a variety of giving options, as well as identifying current and emerging issues, we can help donors address the specific needs of our communities and help them prepare for the future.

MCF is a flexible, personal, and charitable tool of giving. We offer donors a wide variety of options for giving — cash, stocks, marketable securities, and other assets. You don’t have to be wealthy to make a difference, and you can count on our Board to use your gifts in alignment with your purpose. As a 501(c)(3) public charity, we offer the maximum tax benefit for charitable gifts.
