Advisor Resources



We Work Through You. You stay in control of your client relationship. We are here to help you serve your clients' charitable giving needs.
We Partner With You. We provide support, information, and expertise on charitable giving options.
We Help You Build Stronger Relationships. Your clients will appreciate the charitable impact and tax advantages you help them achieve by working with a community foundation.
We Help You Connect Across Generations. When you help families establish an advised fund at the Foundation, you begin an ongoing time of involvement with current and future generations.

Please contact the Foundation for sample fund agreements and giving language. Fund agreements can be written to create funds that are permanently endowed, non-endowed (principal can be spent) or for special projects. For fund types please see our Make A Gift page under establish a new fund.

We thank all of the advisors in the area who have counseled clients on charitable giving through the Sturgis Area Community Foundation. Without your efforts the Foundation could not have returned as many grant dollars as we have to Sturgis and the surrounding communities over the past 46 years. We look forward to our continuing partnership on behalf of the community.
 

DID YOU KNOW?


Charitable Opportunities
Helping clients achieve
their charitable goals!

Year-end tax planning-is there a need for greater tax deductions?
   
Preserving an estate-are estate taxes an issue? Charitable giving can help.
   
Retiring in comfort-would a life income gift with the remainder to the Foundation help a charitably minded client?
   
Sale or disposition of highly appreciated stock-gifts of appreciated stock to the Foundation generate a tax deduction for the market value of the stock while avoiding capital gains tax that would otherwise arise from the sale of the stock. The client can recommend uses for the gift to those charitable areas most import to them.
   
Closely held stock-assets are tied up in a closely held company and the client is interested in giving back to the community. The Foundation can assist!
   
Establishing a private foundation-for a simpler, more cost effective alternative consider a Donor Advised Fund at the Foundation.
   
Substantial IRA/401(k) assets-for clients who want to leave their estate to family with some left to the community the Foundation can help!
