People rely on key advisors for trusted advice and support in making strategic financial decisions. The same should be true when making charitable giving decisions. We partner with tax advisors and financial planners to help guide families seeking to make a philanthropic impact.
Maximum Tax Benefits
As a tax-exempt public charity, OCCF offers giving solutions that maximize benefits to donors on capital gains, estate and income taxes.
Flexibility
OCCF is able to process gifts of cash (including credit), cryptocurrency, marketable securities, business interests, closely held stock, retirement funds, limited partnership and LLC interests, real estate, or other complex assets. Clients can give the gift outright or structure it to produce a lifetime of income.
True Simplicity
A fund at OCCF has the benefits of a private foundation without any of the legal complexities, administrative burdens and compliance requirements
Personalized Recognition
A client’s OCCF fund can bear their name or that of their family, their hero or loved one. Or, if they prefer anonymity, we can ensure that too.

Additionally, OCCF provides a secure on-line donor portal that provides access to fund balance, amount available for granting, donor statement report and investment overview report, as well as the ability to contribute directly to your fund.
