Linking Fund with Planned Gift You and your family can enjoy significant tax advantages when you link your fund with a planned gift such as a: Bequest from your will or trust Charitable remainder trust Charitable lead trust Pooled income fund gift Life insurance gift Life estate gift For more information about these kinds of gifts, please contact Bill Hubbard at [email protected] . In-Kind Donations In the event of an in-kind gift, when a non-cash gift is received, please follow the instructions below: You must issue a thank you note and receipt using the letter below as a template. Please issue the letter AFTER receipt of the gift. Fill in the log for all in-kind receipts and submit to NVCF within 48 hours of the event. ​ In-Kind Letter Template (DOCX) In-Kind Receipt Log (DOCX) Online Donations Once you establish a fund at NVCF, you will receive a unique web address your donors can use to contribute to your fund. Anyone with a bank account or credit card may make a donation to your fund. Credit card processing fees are approximately 2.5% and are deducted from the donation before it is credited to your account. ​ If your organization has its own website, you may want to arrange to place a donation link on your own page. Contact [email protected] for information on this option. Mutual Fund Shares Unlike individual stocks, mutual funds are generally transferred through a change of ownership on the issuer’s books. They usually cannot be transferred electronically, and the shareholder does not have a certificate of ownership. ​ Gifting mutual fund shares to your fund can take time, sometimes as long as four weeks. We urge you not to wait until last minute to try to complete a charitable gift of mutual fund shares. This is a particularly important when making gifts at the end of the year. ​ Begin by notifying us your interest in making a gift of mutual fund shares. Identify the mutual fund and number of shares. If available, include the telephone number and contact person at the mutual fund company. In the event that the North Valley Community Foundation already has an account with the mutual fund company, we can provide you with our account number. Instruct the mutual fund company to transfer the shares to an account in the name of the North Valley Community Foundation. If a new account has to be opened, our taxpayer identification number may be required. When a new account for the Foundation has to be established, it also may take the mutual fund company a little longer to accomplish the transfer. Some mutual fund companies provide a form to be completed first by the donor and then by the Foundation. If that is the case with your mutual fund company, you may request the form from the company, fill out your portion and send it to us. We will complete the form and send it in to the company Once an account for the Foundation has been established, the mutual fund company will send the Foundation a transaction statement, when we know that the gift is being made, we can check on its status throughout the process. Restricted Stock Under certain circumstances, you may make a gift of restricted stock to your fund. Please contact the Foundation at (530) 891-1150 if you would like to do so. We can work with you to determine if the shares may be gifted based on the restriction on your stock and the provisions of legal documents governing your ownership of the stock. If your shares may be gifted, we will assist you in completing the process. A qualified appraisal complying with IRS regulations will be required to establish the value of the gift for federal tax purposes. ​ Gift of restricted stock can take many weeks to complete, so please call us early if you want to have your gift complete within a specific tax period. Your gift will be complete when the restricted stock is reregistered in the name of the Foundation. Public Fundraising Family, friends, and colleagues – anyone can make a gift to your fund. It’s as simple as mailing the gift to the Foundation with instructions to place it in your fund. ​ IMPORTANT NOTE ON FUNDRAISING FOR YOUR FUND: Raising money for your fund by holding an event by soliciting businesses and other foundations is more complex. You will, for legal purposes, be doing so on behalf of the North Valley Community Foundation. ​ Before you begin planning your event or solicitation, please contact Carolyn Engstrom, Client Care Manager, at [email protected] .
