Supporting Organizations
Creating a Supporting Organization is an appealing alternative to establishing a private foundation. Supporting Organizations maintain their own identities, gain significant tax advantages and benefit from a reduced burden of administrative work. Board members and donors participate in the grant making process and at the same time benefit from the professional support services at CFSA.
Supporting Organizations are relatively easy to establish, benefit by paying no excise tax, and are only required to grant amounts consistent with CFSA’s spending policy.
The following entities work in partnership with CFSA as Supporting Organizations of the Foundation:
CFSA Properties, Inc. receives and holds properties on behalf of the community.
