At our Community Foundation, we know that corporate philanthropy can take many forms. Whether streamlining your annual charitable giving or supporting employees in times of need, our extensive experience ensures that your charitable goals are met effectively and efficiently.

When a company is dedicated to giving back to its communities and employees, the desired outcomes may vary, but the approach should remain consistent: strategically utilizing resources to achieve maximum impact.

CFMT offers corporate philanthropy in three ways.

  • Corporate Charitable Funds allow your business to streamline annual giving, enhance your impact on the community and simplify the administrative process.
  • Our Employee Care Fund program is designed to offer immediate, responsive support to your staff in times of unexpected hardship or disaster, ensuring they receive help when it’s most needed.
  • Corporate Scholarship Funds allow businesses to support their employees’ educational goals.

Whether your aim is to enrich community life, provide critical support to employees or support their education, our approach remains consistent: to provide customized, efficient philanthropic solutions that save time and money, helping you meet a diverse range of charitable objectives.

Our team stands ready to tailor a philanthropic solution that seamlessly complements your vision and values.
