Building A Stronger Community Through Donor-Driven Philanthropy
The Indian River Community Foundation is a neutral nonprofit organization whose priority is donor-driven philanthropy. By partnering with the Community Foundation, donors receive the simplicity and tax advantages of a public charity combined with the personal recognition, involvement and flexibility of a private foundation plus significant tax benefits. Donors also gain access to the highest level of strategic thinking on solutions to meet community challenges.
The need for a Community Foundation was noted by a local estate planning attorney in the early 1990s. He worked with clients who had both estate planning issues and a desire to be philanthropic but required more flexibility than simply naming a charity as the ultimate beneficiary. After researching numerous solutions, it appeared that a local Community Foundation could provide a solution. |

Value of IRCF
 The Community Foundation provides added value to our annual giving plans. It is simply easier for us to support causes we care about – United Way, Vero Beach Museum of Art and the Senior Resource Association to name a few – through the Community Foundation.
