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. Racial Equity Matters, a series of educational trainings, invites members of our community to understand and address the root causes of racism. The Women’s Fund works to identify and address employment barriers affecting working women and their families through leadership, research and policy advocacy.
