What You Can Do
What impact would you like to make on our community? Do you want to provide a one-time donation or would you like to make smaller donations spanning several years? Do you have a passion for one area of need, or are your interests many and varied? We can help you make an impact your way, using our expertise and connections. Let's work together to design your perfect plan.
Become A TCF Volunteer
Join us! We connect individuals, families, and businesses with volunteer opportunities or groups that suit your interests. If you have been given community service hours, we can also help connect you with a need. Fund A Specific Project
Establishing a special project fund allows you give others a place to donate money for a specific project. Whether it's building a park or starting a special program to help a specific group, with TCF on your team you know your goals will be accomplished. Planned Giving
Let us help you design a financial giving program. Our organization will help you make informed giving decisions and provide you with the tax strategies to give you the greatest impact. Create A Legacy Fund
We work with many families who wish to create a way to acknowledge a special loved one in a meaningful way. Creating a legacy fund can memorialize a loved one who has passed, or honor an inspiring teacher, coach, or pastor. TCF funds can also be established to support specific causes or organizations that are meaningful to you. |
We Make Giving Easy And Flexible
The Trinidad Community Foundation accepts a wide variety of contributions. Cash donations are always accepted, but did you know that you can also donate stocks, securities and other assets? Your contribution, no matter how small, will create big change in our community.
Cash Gifts
You can make a contribution by check or cash in amount you wish any time you like. Please contact us so we can make the process easy and provide you with the tax donation documentation required by law. (Charitable Giving and Your Taxes)
Bequest by Will
You can designate a gift or portion of your estate to Trinidad Community Foundation and, in some cases, receive a substantial reduction in federal gift and estate taxes. We can help streamline the process fro you.
Life Insurance and 401k Beneficiary Designation
You can make Trinidad Community Foundation a full or partial beneficiary of your life insurance policy or retirement account. It's an easy way to make a legacy gift without modifying your estate plan. Upon your death, your gift is placed into the charitable fund of your choosing. (Charitable Giving Through Retirement Assets)
Appreciated securities and stocks
A gift of appreciated stocks or securities can realize significant tax advantages because the full market value of the stock can be taken as an income tax deduction at the time of the gift, and the appreciated amount is not taxed as a capital gain when the asset is transferred. Let our team help you give without the hassle of extra paperwork.
Bequests, Charitable Remainder Trusts and More!
A variety of strategic options are available, and TCF will work closely with your accountant or financial adviser to create the best charitable fund program for you. Benefits can include a substantial tax deduction and other forms of reduced taxes, lifetime income or income for a set time, or appreciated assets passed on to your heirs at a low tax basis.
