Becoming a Donor

The Community Foundation of NCW is a collection of charitable funds each tied to a unique charitable purpose with the common theme of benefiting Chelan Douglas and Okanogan counties. Donors of all types - individuals, families, businesses and even non-profit organizations - consider an endowed fund for a variety of reasons. Regardless of the motivation, starting a fund at CFNCW does not require a great deal of wealth and is easy.

Starting a fund entails two critical questions:

• What are your charitable goals?
• What is the right gift?

Answering these questions involves developing giving strategies, or deciding what it is your gift will accomplish. It also means deciding what is an appropriate gift, considering your particular circumstance.

The professional staff at CFNCW would be delighted to discuss your giving goals with you. CFNCW professionally manages charitable funds created by individuals, families and corporations, and uses these funds to make grants that address the changing needs of North Central Washington.
