Generating new funding for your organization begins with opening the CFT Giving Fund®. This Fund is much like having your own church or ministry foundation. It is free and simple to create, and it enables you to accept not only cash and publicly traded securities but also non-liquid assets that you may not be able to receive now.
Your supporters can contribute “innovative gifts” such as real estate and business interests – and generally receive immediate tax deductions while avoiding capital gains on the appreciation. CFT receives, manages, and liquidates these gifts for you, placing the net proceeds into your organization’s CFT Giving Fund – from which you can recommend grants back to your ministry.
How it works:
Start your CFT Giving Fund today by filling out a short application form on our website (click the link on the top-right side of this page) or calling us for a print version. It’s fast and easy to do.
Make a suggested initial contribution of $10,000 or more in assets (either from your own funds or those of your supporters). Your supporters may donate cash, stocks, or non-liquid assets to your Fund.
Depending on the size of your balance, your Fund has the potential to grow tax-free through one of our investment portfolios.
Appoint an individual or committee to serve as the Fund advisor(s).
Recommend grants from the Fund to your church or ministry, or to other charities. You can manage your Fund online, and CFT handles the paperwork and administrative hassles.
Taking the Good News to the ends of the earth ...just one of the many ways that churches and ministries are furthering the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the CFT Giving Fund.
