How do you want to make an impact in North Carolina?

We offer convenient, streamlined options that can take just a few minutes to complete.

Give online by credit card

• Fast, secure and fully tax-deductible.
• You have the option to cover the credit card processing fee so 100% of your donation goes directly to the fund of your choice.

Note: Some Chase Bank-issued credit card holders may see their donation mislabeled as Autism Community Foundation in their statement. This issue is internal to Chase, and donors receive an email receipt from NCCF with the correct information about their donation.

Mail a check

• Make checks payable to North Carolina Community Foundation.
• Write the specific fund name in the memo line.
• Mailing address: North Carolina Community Foundation, 3737 Glenwood Ave., Suite 460, Raleigh, NC 27612.

Note: For honorary or memorial gifts, please include a note with your mail stating who should receive recognition of the gift and their address, if applicable.

Initiate an electronic transfer

• Please notify your region’s development officer once you have started the electronic transfer.
• Specify the receiving fund name.

Giving appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds often results in a full tax deduction and minimizes capital gains taxes.

• Please notify your region’s development officer once you’ve requested a transfer, or if you have any questions.
• Provide the name of the donor, the name of the security and the number of shares transferred. That way, we can accurately credit your chosen fund.

You’ve saved for years, and now your retirement savings can become a powerful tool for giving. If you are age 70 and a half or older, you can make a tax-free gift directly from your IRA to NCCF for the fund you would like to support.

• Please reach out to your region’s development officer when you plan to make an IRA contribution, so we can track and credit your chosen fund or to answer any questions you may have.
• Ask your IRA custodian to issue and mail a check payable directly to the North Carolina Community Foundation using these details:
  • In the memo line, include both your name and the name of the fund receiving the gift.
  • Federal Tax ID: 58-1661700
  • Mailing address: North Carolina Community Foundation, 3737 Glenwood Ave., Suite 460, Raleigh, NC 27612.

Note: IRS rules do not permit QCDs to be transferred into a donor advised fund (DAF).

We know exactly how to manage a variety of assets, including non-cash assets like real estate, life insurance and privately-held stock. Because these transactions require prior approval, our team works closely with you or your advisor to ensure a seamless transfer.

Here’s what this can look like:

• Real estate: You can donate commercial or residential property you’ve owned for more than one year.
• Life insurance policies: You can permanently transfer ownership or name NCCF as a beneficiary.
• Closely-held business interests: You can donate stock from a private business at any time, or plan your gift before a major event (like a sale, merger or retirement) for maximum tax advantages.

If you have questions, please notify your region’s development officer.

With a legacy gift, you can make a lasting impact while protecting financial security for you and your loved ones. These planned gift options offer significant tax savings and help you leave a legacy in North Carolina.
