How to Become a Donor

Five Simple Steps to Get Started

Truckee Tahoe Community Foundation can help you at every stage of developing and implementing a giving plan.

Think about your goals. Often a conversation with family members or fainancial advisor is the best way to start thinking about a charitable plan. TTCF staff members can join you in these conversations if you choose.
Decide when to give. Based on your needs, we can help you decide if it is more appropriate to establish a fund immediately, through your will, or through planned giving strategies.
Decide what to give. We can talk with you about the different kinds of assets you can use to open a fund. While most people open a fund with cash or stock, you can also make a gift of real estate, an interest in a family business, artwork or other property.
Talk with us about how to give. Options include a variety of unds that enable you to start giving immediately, or giving strategies that will make gifts to your fund later. Or, you can do both.
Choose what you want to support. Once you decide what you want to support - with or without assistance from our program staff
