Donor Opportunities
Since 1991, we have partnered with individuals, families, businesses and non-profits, to create and grow charitable gifts that allow us to preserve the heritage and enhance the quality of life for the people of Pella.
When we work together, good grows here.
The Pella Community Foundation accepts a variety of gift types to support charitable giving funds and meet your giving goals in tax-wise ways.
Types of Gifts
Support local charities and achieve your giving goals in tax-wise ways.
Giving to the Foundation can be as simple as writing a check or clicking on the Donate button, however it is wise to consider all options which can provide special tax benefits, payments over time, or designed uses. We can provide information, but your attorney, tax accountant, or estate planner should be consulted as well.
​
Cash
Establishing a fund with a cash gift is convenient and immediately satisfying.
​
Appreciated Securities
Given prior to their sale, will avoid capital gains and providing a charitable deduction of their full market value.
​
Gifts by Will
A donor's gift may be a specified amount, a percentage of the donor's estate, or specific assets.
The non-profits we support provide programs which directly and effectively serve our community.
Fund Types
Funds may be established for different purposes as long as they are consistent with the Foundation’s mission. Gifts of any size may be made to existing funds. A minimum contribution is required to establish new funds.
