Professional Advisors
Many people have a strong desire to “give back to the community,” but have given little thought to how this might be accomplished. As a professional advisor, you are in a unique position. You can help your clients achieve their personal goals and dreams, and at the same time help the community expand its philanthropic resources.

At Richland County Foundation, we understand the vital role played by professional advisors in helping individuals evaluate their philanthropic plans – and in making those plans come true. As part of our commitment to Richland County, we strive to serve as a community specialist for professional advisors and as a resource for the individual charitable needs of their clients.

Because Richland County Foundation is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) corporation, there are distinct advantages to connecting with us:

• All gifts are tax deductible to the maximum extent allowed by law.

• We are free of the many administrative costs and restrictions placed on private foundations.

• We pay no excise taxes and have no annual minimum payout requirements.

• Donors with funds in a community foundation submit no separate tax filings.

• We keep administrative costs to a minimum, so more of each dollar actually goes to charity.

RCF is here to help make charitable giving easy, effective, and rewarding for ALL. Flexibility is an important part of RCF’s approach, we offer a great variety of options for donors and are committed to enhancing the donor experience. Whether it’s simplifying giving, planning an estate, or maximizing tax benefits, we welcome the opportunity to explore your client's unique needs.
