For Advisors

By partnering with Whidbey Community Foundation (WCF) you can make it easier for your clients to give simply and effectively – helping them receive tax benefits they may not realize on their own while supporting their unique charitable interests. At WCF, philanthropy is our business. We are committed to helping you assist your clients to achieve their philanthropic goals.

We understand the importance of your client relationships. Rest assured that we will work with the client in whatever way you like, up front or behind the scenes. Your clients will appreciate your helping them achieve more than they thought possible. Whether their needs are simple or complex, utilizing our expertise and experience will add value to your services.

Offer Charitable Solutions

We work with you to create giving strategies customized to your clients’ personal and financial goals.

Provide Maximum Tax Benefits

Your client’s gift to WCF can receive the maximum tax benefits allowed for a gift to a public charity.

Help Any Client Give Back

Being philanthropic does not require a lot of wealth. WCF can work with you to craft a plan that meets the needs of all your clients. No matter their income level, your clients can have a giving plan that fulfills their charitable goals.

Keep the Planning Flexible

Your clients can make a gift when it’s the right time for them, and then, when they’re ready, recommend grants over time to the nonprofits of their choice. They have the flexibility to support many different charitable interests from one fund.

Make the Greatest Impact

Since 2016, WCF has helped people create meaningful, customized charitable funds that help them fulfill their charitable goals. Whatever their charitable objectives may be, we can be the resource for your clients to make informed grant decisions and provide them with feedback on the impact of their gifts.

Preserve Charitable Intent

An endowment fund at WCF never goes out of date, even if the original charitable purpose can no longer be fulfilled. When they create a fund, your client may designate an alternate purpose of their choosing for this contingency, or the Foundation’s Board of Directors will use the fund to support a cause that most closely matches your client’s original intent.

Cost Free Planning

It’s our pleasure to work with you to explore the best options for your clients’ personal and financial goals. There is never any obligation, and there is no charge for our consultation, planning or drafting.
