Simplicity. Philanthropy is important work, but it doesn't need to be hard work. A Donor Advised Fund at the Springfield Foundation provides the best features of a private family foundation without the legal and administrative burden of such a structure.

Expertise and Knowledge. The Springfield Foundation provides more than 60 years of philanthropic and grant making expertise to your client. We use our knowledge of the nonprofit world to connect your clients to the best charitable programs in our community and around the country.

Local. The Springfield Foundation is a local organization with assets at work right here in our community.

Value. The Springfield Foundation's charitable giving options provide maximum tax benefits at a very low cost.

Flexibility. Other companies or vehicles of philanthropy do not accept or are not allowed to accept complicated gifts of real property or closely held stock. The Springfield Foundation does and will. The Foundation offers the most flexibility in the acceptance of gifts and the use of those gifts to make grants.

With Springfield Foundation as a partner, your clients will have access to people with the same passion for results, and many opportunities to get smarter about giving – including donor education seminars, site visits, peer networking events and more.

For 62 years, the Springfield Foundation has turned charitable dreams into realities for thousands of people throughout Clark County.
