How To Give


Gifts from contributors in our local communities are at the heart of the Community Foundation’s endowment. Anyone can become a donor, including individuals, families, groups, businesses or private foundations. It’s easy!

Gifts can take the form of cash, stock or other securities, life insurance or, upon Board approval, certain other assets. You can also make planned gifts through bequests, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, IRAs, or pension funds. We encourage you to discuss planned gifts with your tax or financial advisor.

The Community Foundation also accepts gifts made on your VISA or MC. While at the present time such gifts cannot be made through our web site, we gladly accommodate them by telephone, or you can download a form to send through the mail by clicking here.

If you would like to make a gift of stock to the Community Foundation, please be in touch with us by phone prior to making the gift so that we can explain the procedure you need to follow with your investment brokerage house. Questions regarding gifts of stock may be directed to Gina Allabaugh, the Foundation’s Finance Officer, at (607) 772-6773.

Community Foundation staff are always available to answer questions and provide information to help you choose the right giving option. We’re happy to work with you and your professional advisor as you deal with tax and estate planning issues relating to your gift. And if setting up a new fund of your own within the Community Foundation is of interest to you, we’ll gladly explain the details regarding such funds.

For information tailored to your specific needs about making a gift to the Community Foundation for South Central New York, please contact Executive Director Diane Brown or Finance Officer Gina Allabaugh at (607) 772-6773 or at the address on the bottom of this page.
