2. Decide what to give

3. Recommend distributions to the charities of your choice
   Now or in the future, once your Fund is funded, you can recommend grants to any registered public charity nationally or internationally, including your alma materand house of worship. You can even support international causes.
   1. You also may request that your grants be made anonymously
      You have secure, online access to your fund, 24/7, to submit grant recommendations. And that’s all. Email us at care@caredropscf.org right away or call us on +2348104060000 today!

1. Cash
   Gifts of cash or electronic money transfers are the most convenient, simple and direct way to give. Cash or electronic money transfer gifts are fully deductible up to 50 percent of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). Amounts given over and above this limit can be carried forward and deducted for up to five years beyond the year you make your gift.
2. Bond or Securities
   You may receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of long-term capital gains assets that you contribute, such as stocks and mutual funds held for more than one year. Since the Foundation liquidates the securities, you pay no tax on the sale, and the full value of your gift is available to support your charitable interests.
3. Real Estate
   Real estate gifts, such as your home, farm or vacation property, entitle you to a charitable income tax deduction up to the full fair market value of the property, not to exceed 30 percent of your AGI. Plus, you avoid paying any capital gains tax on the property’s appreciated value.
4. Other Tangible Personal Property
   Gifts of personal property, such as works of art, clothing, collectibles or jewelry, may offer beneficial charitable deductions. Contact our Development Staff to discuss making this type of gift arrangement.
5. Legacy Gifts – Planned and Deferred Gift Vehicles
   CareDrops CF offers a variety of ways to help you establish a plan for giving to charity after your lifetime. Gift giving options include outright gifts, as well as plans that provide income for life, either for you or another designated beneficiary.
6. Life Insurance
   Gifting a life insurance policy that is no longer needed or taking out a new policy is a perfect option to establish a future charitable fund or to make an outright gift to the Foundation. You earn an immediate tax deduction approximately equal to the policy’s replacement cost or current cash value, and any additional premiums that you pay are deductible.
7. Bequest
   Bequests through your will are one of the most effective methods of providing for your favorite charities, while enabling you to retain the use of your assets or property during your lifetime. Several types of bequests are available to you, including designating a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate or the remaining property after all other obligations are fulfilled.
8. Retirement Plan Assets
   You can designate CareDrops CF as the beneficiary of your IRA or other retirement plans. Retirement plans are ideal for charitable giving, because they are more heavily taxed than other estate assets and can significantly reduce your estate tax liability. This can allow you to give more to your heirs and to the charities you care about the most.
9. Life Estate Remainder Interest
   You can gift your home, farm or vacation property to the Foundation and retain the right to use the property during your lifetime, after which it is sold by the Foundation. You benefit from an immediate tax deduction in the year that the gift arrangement is made.
10. Gift Options that Produce Income for You or Others
    A life income gift plan through CareDrops CF provides income for life for you and/or your loved ones, an immediate charitable tax deduction, a charitable estate tax deduction and an everlasting legacy to your designated communities.

HOW WE WORK WITH YOU___

CareDrops CF works with individuals, families and organisations to help them get the most from their charitable giving.

Community Foundations are an ideal vehicle for philanthropists to put some structure around their giving to achieve maximum impact in their community. Offering a flexible alternative to creating conventional charitable trusts or a foundation, which can prove complicated and costly to set up and administer.

Save Money… Maximise Your Impact
The administrative and governance burden on trustees running a charitable trust is ever increasing and, understandably, can be off-putting to those who just want to see their giving in action. We offer a practical solution, making charitable giving to local causes stress free, easy and enjoyable. Whether you’re looking to establish a personal fund through a lifetime donation or a legacy in your will, or wish to reduce the administrative burden of an existing trust, we can work with you to find the best solution. 

Custom Philanthropy Services
We offer tailored philanthropy advice service to establish the parameters, criteria and focus for your Fund. If you wish we are also happy to arrange private project visits. The Foundation is committed to awarding high impact grants on behalf of its donors, producing yearly Impact Reports on your Named Fund to show what your giving has achieved. There are several options for your giving through CareDrops CF.

Named Funds
Choose between establishing your unique Named Fund as either:
An Endowment Fund which invests for the future making grants annually
or
An Immediate Impact Fund awarding grants in a one-off programme, and which can be renewed on an ongoing basis

Community Grants Fund
Be part of this life changing endowment Fund by giving any amount to one of our Community Development Funds and becoming part of our community of donors.
