Our staff is skilled in working with donors who have multi-faceted objectives and complex gift situations. As your partner in charitable giving we know that we can help you achieve a three-way success: for you, for your clients and for the community.
Convenience
Call or email us about any aspect of charitable giving. We are also glad to arrange a meeting, at your convenience and at a place of your choosing.
We understand that your clients sometimes prefer to remain anonymous and we are glad to work directly with you on their behalf. Many of our relationships with professional advisors begin this way. Feel free to call us to explore an option or discuss a client situation. Even if this does not result in a charitable gift through the foundation, we want to hear from you. No question is too simple or complex for us. If we don't have the answer on hand we will find it for you.
|
Experience
We are experienced in customizing charitable giving opportunities to the needs of your client. We also understand how to help you communicate the benefits of a particular strategy, so that your clients make well-informed decisions they feel good about. We are committed to helping your clients achieve their financial and charitable goals.
Call on us for assistance in establishing a fund selecting an investment strategy and setting up an effective grant-making program. Many individuals, corporations, nonprofit agencies and organizations also decide to work with us because of our knowledge of local needs and our extensive experience in local problem solving.
|
Permanence
Our strong record of financial stewardship assures your clients that their charitable agenda will be met now and for generations to come. Our volunteer Board of Directors represents a cross-section of our community. They work hard to maintain high donor confidence about proper management of charitable gifts.
|
Economical
If each individual fund operated independently and had to recreate our services on its own, the price tag would be enormous. But each of our funds shares the costs of an outstanding staff and excellent investment advisors. In a very real sense, each donor is backed by a staff who cares about them and their needs.

A Professional Advisor’s Perspective: CPA Joe Woosley of Hot Springs
 |
A professional advisor who has years of experience in managing client assets, Joe Woosley appreciates the benefits the Arkansas Community Foundation brings to his practice and to his clients. “It provides a way to safeguard assets through independent and controlled, proper investment practices,” Woosley says.
A principal in the Hot Springs CPA firm of Jordan, Woosley, Crone & Keaton, Ltd., Woosley helps his clients set up different types of funds, depending on their needs. Some clients want to help determine what charities receive the benefits of their funds, while others desire input from the local ARCF Affiliate--the Hot Springs Area Community Foundation--on the most pressing charitable needs. |
“Most every client has a church group or a nonprofit that they want to assist,” says Woosley. “When they transfer the legal responsibility for a portion of their assets to the Arkansas Community Foundation, they are confident their money does what they really want it to do.”
Woosley commends the ARCF staff for their understanding of the rules, streamlining the paperwork, and saving him time. “We want to be efficient in the way we help people make their charitable gifts,” Woosley says. “We feel a community responsibility to help the charities as well as our clients, and I feel really good when we can do both through the Arkansas Community Foundation.”
