Fresno Regional Foundation

Giving

Fresno Regional Foundation helps donors achieve their charitable goals. We serve as a bridge connecting philanthropy to community-based organizations that provide programs and services throughout the San Joaquin Valley. Together, we all help build a healthy, vibrant and prosperous community.

How can we help you?

Giving should be a personalized, rewarding experience. When you give through the Foundation, our professional staff will work with you and your professional advisor to make philanthropy easy and efficient.

You

• Contribute cash, stocks, bonds, retirement accounts, real estate or other assets
• Use wills, trusts, or direct transfers
• Establish an unrestricted, field of interest, designated, agency, donor advised or scholarship fund
• Name your fund or give anonymously
• Qualify for maximum tax advantage under federal law
• Stay informed or involved, depending on the charitable fund you establish
• Make your gift last forever through the power of endowment

We

• Invest your gift
• Award grants from the earnings
• Inform you of investment performance and grant awards
• Handle all administrative details

We’d be happy to meet with you and/or your professional advisor to discuss how your gift can build a better future for your community. Upon request, we will supply the names of our investment managers, their fees charged, and the names of individuals responsible for the investment oversight of Fresno Regional Foundation funds. Please contact us for this information.

Wondering what to give? Retirement assets are the first choice for bequests, and real estate is worth more at a community foundation. Contact us to find out why.
