10 reasons you need a Giving Fund at NCF

Over the past 40+ years at NCF, we’ve seen generous Christian givers use a Giving Fund to simplify complex problems and fulfill some of their deepest desires for giving. If any of the following needs sound familiar, a Giving Fund might be right for you:

  1. You want to give with an organization that shares your values
    Your NCF team understands that you want to be a good steward of all God has entrusted to you. As the ministry behind your fund, we can come alongside you with shared values and support to help you develop a Giving Strategy™ based on biblical principles.
  2. You have a private foundation but need help with asset giving
    If a private foundation isn’t working for all your needs, your local NCF team is available to work with you to discover the best options for your giving.
  3. You’re looking for a way to get your family involved
    We often hear from givers that they hope to unify their family around what truly matters. When you make family members participants on your fund and give them advisory access, everyone can participate in granting decisions together. Read how this family used their fund to foster a sense of shared purpose and joy.
  4. You’ve been meaning to be more intentional
    There’s nothing like a Giving Fund to help you get serious about setting aside resources for giving and distributing. Through your fund, you can research charities, create recurring contribution and grant schedules, set goals, and monitor your progress.
  5. Your cash flow is holding you back
    NCF is an industry leader in non-cash giving. And we can help you give assets like appreciated stock, business interests, and real estate to fund your giving. This creates the potential for greater tax advantages, so you can give more. See how it works.
  6. You want to get your employees on board
    NCF has helped Christian business leaders across the country as they seek to steward their company well. A Giving Fund can be used with your company, too, as a simple, centralized platform for your employee-giving program. Learn how one business leader uses his. 
  7. You’d like an easier way to track your giving
    With a Giving Fund, you can manage all your giving in one place – from your phone or your computer – and print a report when you need it. You’ll be free to make a gift spontaneously whenever and even wherever you are, as God leads you to give.
  8. You’re compelled to invest for growth
    With NCF’s investment pools, you have flexible options for growing the balance in your fund, so you have more to give. With a Giving Fund, you can invest for growth so the amount available for granting may increase over time.
  9. You want to leave a godly legacy
    With a fund at NCF, it’s simple to designate successors to your fund or specify charitable causes you want to support over time. And you’ll have the option of directing us to keep the funds at NCF after your lifetime, so the same beliefs and values that made you choose NCF will be reflected in future granting decisions.
  10. You long to be part of something bigger
    We’re in 180 communities around the country, so you’ll be served by real people who will help you use your Giving Fund to dream big for the causes you love. And you’ll be connected to your local generosity community, a nationwide network of thousands of givers, and a global generosity movement that’s sharing the love of Christ worldwide.

The bottom line? Giving means more than tax deductions or passing on as much wealth as possible to your children. If you want to pursue the greater story God has for your generosity, you can start your journey today with a Giving Fund at NCF.
