Today, NCEF is inviting everyone in the community to help create a lasting legacy by making a current gift, pledge or planned gift to ensure NCEF’s continued operations and grantmaking activities to support future generations of children.
“We want all of NCEF’s good work over the past 20+ years to be guaranteed for a strong future. We know that the children of Collier County are counting on us. That is why we have chosen to lead with passion and make a strong financial commitment to the NCEF Endowment by establishing the Shirley & Peter Welsh Operations & Out-of-School Time Programs Fund.”
There are a variety of ways to support the Endowment: (NCEF’s Endowment policy requests that gifts to the Endowment be a minimum of $10,000)
Make a one-time gift or five-year pledge using cash and/or appreciated stock. An Endowment Gift Agreement can help you document your gift and share your intentions.
Make a gift of readily marketable securities. (Closely held stock may also be accepted with approval by the NCEF Board of Directors upon the recommendation of the Finance Committee.)
Name NCEF as a beneficiary in your will, trust or life insurance plan.
Use the Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) as part of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), or designate NCEF as a beneficiary of your IRA.
Complete a Legacy Society Intention Form to share your revocable intention to support NCEF through a bequest or planned gift.
Other gifts may be accepted only upon individual review and recommendation of the Finance Committee and approved by the Board and the value of the gift justifies the additional work required by NCEF to perform appropriate due diligence.
Donors who wish to create a Separate Named Fund within the NCEF Endowment may do so with a minimum donation of $250,000 and completion of a Separate Named Fund Agreement. Distributions from the Separate Named Fund may be restricted for use by NCEF for the general operating fund or to fulfill NCEF’s grantmaking activities through one of our overall service categories:
