Convenient
You can contribute to an existing fund or establish a new one with a simple agreement that can be prepared in under an hour. We'll guide you through each step of the process. Once your fund is established, our professional team handles the details, including record-keeping and you can access regular fund updates online.
Flexible
Your giving should align with your unique goals. Whether you choose to give now or through your estate plan, you can support an existing fund, establish your own, or make an unrestricted gift for broader community benefit. The flexibility is yours to create the impact you envision.
Meaningful
Your contributions make a real difference. We understand that your gifts are an investment in the causes that matter to you, whether it's your community, faith, education, or other passions. Thoughtful giving brings profound satisfaction, knowing you're creating a positive legacy.
Permanent
Together, we are building a permanent collection of funds for our communities. Our board of directors ensures that these funds will grow in perpetuity and will continue to carry out the charitable objectives of the donors who established them.
Financially Beneficial
Charitable giving through a community foundation offers tax advantages that can enhance your financial planning. Whether through immediate contributions or long-term strategies like donor advised funds, giving can support your goals while providing significant tax savings.

KEITH & DEBRA HOUGHTON
"We chose to partner with Solomon Valley Community Foundation because we know that our funds will be handled correctly, safely, and invested wisely. Keeping your dollars at home with people that care about Mitchell County, and who stand ready to help you at any time, is invaluable and comforting. We also know that in the future, when we are not able to decide ourselves, they will follow our directives in granting and help to appropriate our wishes. The SVCF has amazing board members, each one dedicated to the mission to improve lives."

Power of Endowments
Your gift to the community foundation will grow over time. Whether you plant a seed by starting a new fund or help one grow by giving to an existing fund, every gift to the community foundation helps provide "fruit" for the community through grants and scholarships.
