Your Charitable Contributions

All contributions to the Community Foundation of the Fox River Valley fulfill charitable purposes. No gift is used to defray the operating expenses of our organization unless a donor designates his or her gift for placement in our Administrative Endowment Fund. And then, only the income earned by the investment of gifts placed in that fund supports administrative expenses.

Any administrative fee charged to a Foundation fund is deducted from the income earned by that fund. Thus, the original value of each contribution to our organization is safeguarded for charitable needs.

A schedule of administrative and investment fees is available by contacting the Foundation office.
