2. Make a Gift

Contribute cash, stock, real estate or a variety of assets to create your fund now or in the future through a planned gift. Gifts are tax-deductible in the year you make your gift. CFCG does not have a minimum gift amount to establish a fund, but our administrative fee decreases as the size of the fund increases.
