A Gift Planning Team to Increase The Effectiveness Of Your Ministry

Most Christian organizations are not set up to handle estate planning, planned gifts, long-term fund management, endowment, or sophisticated investment management.  These techniques require knowledgeable administration and experienced staff.

Northwest Christian Community Foundation can be a partner with your organization.

Organizational advised funds offer an alternative to your organization having its own supporting foundation.  NCCF can receive cash, real estate, securities, and other complex gifts on behalf of your charity.  The proceeds can then be placed into an advised fund, from which the leadership can direct grants to the charity.

Planned gifts can provide long-term support for your ministry and meet the needs of your donors.  However, many organizations lack the resources or trained staff to administer a planned gift program.  NCCF can be a partner in promoting and securing planned gifts that benefit your ministry. 

By partnering with NCCF your ministry gains credibility and financial accountability. 

Why Consider NCCF?

Why consider NCCF as a partnering agency with your organization:

• Independence and professionalism of a third party administrator dedicated to the field of planned giving.
• Allows organization staff to focus on priorities of the nonprofit.
• Staff dedicated to providing excellent administrative services, rather than having in-house staff having to be knowledgeable and work in the technical and detailed field of planned giving.
• Identification with an entity (NCCF) that is maturing and assuming a greater role in the community at large.  Partnering with NCCF, a specialized agency, gives strength to the charity.
• Charitable planning & design services of experienced staff with technical expertise.
• Ability to handle full range of planned gifts through NCCF.
• Ability of NCCF to handle non-cash gifts of real estate (in various areas of the country), publicly and non-publicly traded securities, tangible property, and business interests.  Such assets can be evaluated, received, administered, and credited to the charity's gift accounts by NCCF.
• Ability to assist the charity's staff in securing gifts from sophisticated donors with unique assets, wherever those donors are located.
• Excellent accounting and processing procedures.
• Reasonable fee structure for services provided.  It may be less expensive to use outside services than adding/dedicating staff time to perform detailed service.  Cost of salary + benefits vs. fee for service through NCCF.

NCCF has strengthened its programs and operations so that it can be the premier philanthropic agency serving Christian philanthropists and ministries in the Northwest.  The emphasis of NCCF is to provide excellent administrative and investment services and be the planned giving resource for Christian agencies.
NCCF would be pleased to become a partner with charities seeking to grow and become stronger and sustainable long-term as they seek to fulfill their ministry role.
