Applicable Fees

Foundation Support Fee

The Foundation Support Fee enables OCCF to serve both our donors and our community well. It varies according to fund type and size and covers all costs associated with fund support and administration, including receipt and tax acknowledgment of contributions, grant processing, donor education events, and an array of customized donor services including research on issues and/or specific organizations, site visits and strategic giving planning.

 

In addition to supporting the robust services that donors receive at OCCF, Foundation Support fees strengthen our capacity to serve our community and bolster the impact of nonprofits serving a broad spectrum of local needs. Our donors can take comfort in knowing that the support they provide to the Community Foundation when they choose us as their philanthropic home is being leveraged and multiplied for the good of our community.
