Nonprofit Endowment and Advised Funds


Nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations with volunteer boards want to focus on programs – not asset management.

CCF makes it possible for nonprofits to establish permanent endowment funds to support the long-term needs of the organization, and advised funds for a specific purpose or initiative that supports the work and mission of the organization.

To encourage our region’s nonprofits to establish funds at CCF, we charge a reduced administrative fee and this fee is waived for the first year.

In addition, a nonprofit that establishes an endowment fund at CCF is eligible to participate in our planned giving services including charitable gift annuity and pooled income fund programs.

A nonprofit that establishes a fund with us continues to be eligible to apply for grants from CCF.

For more information, please contact Ann Merriam Feinberg at 203-753-1315.
