As charitable giving becomes a bigger part of life for individuals, families, and businesses, it can be overwhelming to navigate your options and decide where to start.
The good news? Giving doesn’t have to be complicated.
When you work with the Community Foundation, you get:
- Personalized service from real people who care
- A simple process to establish your fund (in as little as an hour!)
- Expert support that helps you maximize impact and joy
Here’s what donors often say after getting started:
“We had no idea it would be so easy. We wish we had done this years ago.”
“It’s refreshing to talk to people in Arkansas, instead of someone in a call center”
“We feel connected to something bigger—part of a local family of giving.”
And it’s not just about service—it’s about simplicity and flexibility. We take care of the administrative details, from tax receipts to grant processing. For example, when you contribute appreciated stock to a donor advised fund, you receive one receipt, even if you support 10 different charities. We also handle IRS documentation and acknowledgments, so your records stay organized.
Even better, we accept a wide variety of assets—cash, stock, real estate, business interests, retirement accounts, and more—helping you give in the most tax-efficient way.
Whether you’re considering a new gift, planning your legacy, or just want to talk through your options, we’re here for you every step of the way.
