Products and/or services
At the center of our work are the people who invest in causes they care about. Charitable planning, family philanthropy, and other GCF tools amplify the impact of every gift our donors make. Our experienced team of Philanthropic Advisors develop game plans that maximize tax savings and create lasting, meaningful results.
Paycor, Gorilla Glue, The Motz Group, Skyline Chili, and Proctor & Gamble have all engaged GCF to reach charitable goals and execute philanthropic programs. Business owners and their families also can make gifts of privately held stock and partnership interests to a fund at GCF for tax savings and charitable benefit. We offer a range of customized philanthropic solutions for businesses, owners and employees, including:
- Corporate donor advised funds
- Specialized corporate funds
- Employee engagement and giving
- Scholarship funds
- Executive donor advised funds
- Multi-generational family philanthropic services
In addition to these services, GCF drives change through initiatives focused on affordable housing, economic mobility and racial justice. Together with our donors and nonprofit partners, we’re making investments in arts and culture, education, housing affordability, health care, job creation, environmental sustainability, human services and more. When you partner with GCF to achieve your charitable goals, you can look forward to collaborating with a multidisciplinary team that has a deep commitment to the tristate region.
