Corporate Giving Made Easy
Regardless of whether you have a staff of 100 or 1, with Marietta Community Foundation, corporate giving is easy, effective, and rewarding. We have the systems and tools needed to simplify your giving, grow your charitable resources, and maximize your tax benefits. Plus, we’re audited annually to ensure your peace of mind.
Everything your business needs to make the greatest impact, all under one roof.
Corporate Giving Just Makes Sense
Charitable donations and volunteerism lead to more brand recognition than advertising.
Consumers are more inclined to do business with companies that give back to their communities.
Philanthropy strengthens the community and creates a better quality of life for everyone.
Corporate giving creates meaningful opportunities for employee engagement.
For some companies, opening a donor-advised fund is the best option for simplifying their giving. We offer many of the same benefits as a private foundation, plus increased flexibility, tax advantages, and customized services to support your charitable vision.
We can help develop a giving program tailored to your company’s specific interest areas and giving priorities. Once we know what you value most, we can quickly identify local solutions.
Once your fund is established, we do the heavy lifting. Our grantmaking practice follows a strict due diligence process to ensure that your investments are only disbursed to reputable organizations. After we process the grant on your behalf, we follow up on your gift’s status to ensure its usage matches your intent.
