Give with confidence

The final months of the year offer unique opportunities to make a meaningful impact.

At the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation, we provide local expertise with tax-smart solutions to help you plan strategically, explore new possibilities, and feel confident your generosity is making a real difference.

Give with confidence

Smart strategies

There are several ways to maximize both your philanthropic impact and your tax benefits at the end of the year — allowing your generosity to go further for the causes you care about.

Donor-Advised Funds

With a donor-advised fund, you can make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and support the organizations you care about over time.

Gifts from Your IRA

Easily transfer funds directly to non-advised funds and reduce your taxable income with Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD).

Gifts of Appreciated Stock

Support the causes you love, avoid capital gains tax, and receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of your gift.

We Make Giving simpler

Our team has deep roots in the community. As your local partner, we’ll connect you to the causes you care about most and provide you with opportunities to support the community’s greatest needs.

Local Insight

We understand that deciding where to give can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Our team has deep knowledge of local nonprofits and community initiatives, as well as insight into the region’s most pressing challenges.

Personalized planning

We serve as stewards of your charitable legacy. Informed by your unique life story, we’ll create a personalized plan tailored to your values and desired level of involvement. We’ll also take care of the paperwork so you can simply enjoy giving.

Trusted Collaboration

We work with your financial, legal, and tax advisors to align your charitable goals with smart strategies.

Maximum Impact

We manage resources wisely, keeping operating costs under 1% of assets, so your generosity creates the greatest possible impact. And unlike national providers, our fees are reinvested here at home, strengthening our whole community.
