For Nonprofit Organizations

A strong nonprofit community is vital to our donors, our work as a community foundation and our region. We value the important and hard work you do every day. Nonprofit organizations meet important needs and create quality of life enhancements for our community. 

Part of our mission is to support and strengthen our community’s nonprofit organizations. You support our community and we support you. 

You may face challenges carrying out your mission, but we can provide resources and opportunities to help your organization, wherever you are in your life cycle. Whether it’s through donor support, establishing endowment funds or collaboration and resources, you can rely on our local knowledge and expertise.

By working together, we all make this community better. Let’s Do Some Good Today!


Endowment Partnerships

An endowment fund is a valuable tool in the financial portfolio of a nonprofit. It creates a financial bedrock for the organization through a permanent stream of support. An endowment only uses the earnings from the fund, ensuring the fund grows and continues forever. It’s a way to demonstrate to donors your organization is planning for a financially stable future. If your organization is interested in opening an endowment fund or growing an existing fund, let our experienced staff help you with endowment planning.

Nonprofit Learning Opportunities

We had another amazing time at the 2023 Nonprofit Roundtable which happened on Thursday, August 17th. The event provided a valuable platform for people from a variety of nonprofits to come together and engage in meaningful discussions, share insights, and learn from each other’s experiences. We hope the knowledge and perspectives shared during the event provided encouragement and inspiration to benefit your organization.

Endow Kentucky

Have you talked with your regular donors about Endow Kentucky tax credit? If not, now’s the time. The Endow Kentucky program provides a 20% tax credit to donors who contribute to a permanent endowment at Central Kentucky Community Foundation. Encouraging your donors to take advantage of the tax credit could be one way to ensure the longevity of your organization and its missions. We’re here to help you and your donors take advantage of this opportunity. Let’s get started today.

Estate Gifts

You’ve worked hard to build relationships with your donors, especially people who give regularly to your mission. But what happens after your donors pass away?

Even though conversations with donors about estate gifts can feel uncomfortable, they often lead to stronger relationships and giving plans.
