Since 1982, the National Christian Foundation has walked alongside generous givers with shared biblical values, innovative charitable solutions, and highly personalized service, so they can they can make the most of what God has entrusted to them for his greater purposes. Together, we’ve mobilized more than $18 billion for 90,000 charities, ministries, and churches.
If you want to understand how NCF can help you, here are some specific ways to determine if we might be a good fit:
1. You need to keep track of a large volume of giving and granting
With a Giving Fund (donor-advised fund) at NCF, you can manage all your giving 24/7 from any device, reduce paperwork and overhead costs, research charities, and even grow your balance over time. To see how simple and joyful your giving can be, watch this NCF giver explain how she uses her fund.
2. You are a Christian using a secular donor-advised fund (DAF)
We understand how important it is to be a faithful steward of all God has entrusted to you. As a Christian ministry, we share your biblical values, and they inspire everything we do. Unlike a secular DAF provider, our goal is to help you on your giving journey with an approach based on these 10 principles of biblical generosity.
3. You have a private foundation, or you’re thinking about starting one
If you’re giving, or plan to give, less than $1 million a year to charity, you should consider using an NCF Giving Fund rather than a private foundation. A Giving Fund is an efficient, low-cost alternative that can save you a significant amount of time, money, and administrative hassles. Compare the differences with this helpful chart.
4. You need someone to work with your advisory team to make the most of every giving opportunity
Our highly respected gift planning attorneys, CPAs, and charitable professionals walk with you and your professional advisors in creating innovative giving strategies that complement your team’s objectives and help you achieve your giving goals. See why this advisory firm loves working with NCF.
5. You plan to sell a business
Whether you are thinking about selling your business now or in the future, NCF can help you plan prior to the sale, so you give more than you ever dreamed possible. See what one business owner had to say about working with our team to maximize the charitable impact of his business sale.
6. You own a business, a piece of property, or other valuable appreciated asset
As non-cash giving specialists who’ve facilitated more than $6 billion in complex gifts, we can help you donate assets directly to charity, so you can potentially give significantly more than cash. Watch the story of an inspiring family who gave part of their business, and see the moving testimony of a couple who gave real estate.
7. You have stock or mutual funds
Instead of writing checks to charity, giving appreciated securities is a much wiser way to give. We’ll show you how to use stock giving to rebalance your portfolio and potentially save taxes, so you can give more. Learn what happened when these NCF givers realized they could give more by giving stock.
8. Your retirement accounts are overfunded
With a split-interest gift like a charitable gift annuity, we can help you give to charity and receive a revenue stream for life. And if you’re at least age 70½, there’s a new, one-time solution to fund a CGA with a qualified charitable distribution from an IRA to keep your generosity going strong throughout retirement. Learn how you can support the causes you love even more with this 2024 opportunity.
