VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Volunteers are an integral part of day-to-day operations at CKCF and our affiliate foundations. From advisory board of directors to review committee members, to event support; volunteers make things happen. This special volunteer recognition is for youth who helped us during the preparation for the office move and the actual move itself. Their helpful hands took a load off of staff and the CKCF board, and we are so grateful for their contributions.

It’s November, which is hard to believe.

The team at the community foundation is here to help you navigate your charitable giving priorities all year round, and especially during the giving season, when we know many of you are beginning to turn your attention to tax planning and ensuring that you’ll meet your charitable goals before the end of December.

We are grateful for those of you who’ve already established a fund at the community foundation, and we are also grateful for those who are considering it. We’d love to work with you.

The community foundation is our region’s trusted source for all things philanthropy, and we are honored to serve you as you pursue the charitable endeavors that mean the most to you and your family.

In this issue of our Donor Connection, you can find helpful article topics such as:

• Getting ahead of the year-end rush
• Gifts of "complex" assets deliver multiple benefits
• Crisis giving and avoiding pitfalls

Wishing you all the best for a safe and happy Thanksgiving.
