Giving Opportunities

MCF is flexible in helping our donors accomplish their philanthropic goals, from collective giving to support a diverse range of local needs to highly personalized giving through donor advised and designated funds. MCF can also accept the full range of assets that provide the most benefit to you, the donor, and to the community. We use a host of tools to provide donors with maximum impact for their charitable gift.

Marshall Community Fund Model:

  • General endowment
  • Project funds (non-endowed)
  • Named funds (endowed or non-endowed)
    • Unresricted Fund
    • Field of Interest Fund
    • Designated Fund
    • Donor Advised Fund

Charitable Channels

  • Outright Gifts
  • Bequests
  • Charitable Gift Annuity
  • Charitable Lead Trust
  • Charitable Remainder Trust
  • Life Estate Contract

The MCF has an opportunity to build its endowment quickly through challenge grants from The Southwest Minnesota Foundation ($25,000) and The Schwan Food Company ($100,000). The first $125,000 will be matched by these grants to help grow the general endowment more quickly.
