The Harris myCFO Foundationwas established in November 2000 to accommodate the philanthropic goals and generous nature of Harris myCFO, Inc. clients, the company's many employees and the public at large. Believing that philanthropy is important to the health of our communities and recognizing that many individuals appreciate strategic giving as well as simplicity when it comes to giving, the Harris myCFO Foundation was created to assist individuals in facilitating such giving. It is the goal of the Harris myCFO Foundation to bring funders and grant-seekers together and to foster learning about the programs and activities in our communities and around the world that make a difference.
By establishing donor-advised funds, individuals can make a gift today and recommend distributions to a wide variety of charitable organizations and programs over time. Although the distributions may be spread out over a number of years, donors receive the full charitable income tax deduction in the year the gift is made to the Harris myCFO Foundation. As the term "donor-advised" suggests, donors may recommend which charities and organizations should benefit from the fund — the final decision as to distributions resides with the Harris myCFO Foundation Board of Directors.
Donors to the Harris myCFO Foundation are not burdened with the complex day-to-day operations and compliance issues associated with operating a charitable entity. As a result, donors can focus on the satisfying aspect of giving — finding worthy causes and programs to benefit through grant recommendations.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
– Margaret Mead
We want to help you change the world! If you would like to establish a charitable fund at the Harris myCFO Foundation to facilitate your giving to causes you care about, we would be pleased to assist you in such process.
