The Cape Coral Community Foundation presents
Helping Donors Give Non-Cash Assets
|
|
|
For nonprofit organizations, non-cash charitable gifts are an incredible fundraising opportunity. It's an untapped stream of new donations to support programs and operations. There are tried and true methods that make gifts of stocks, real estate, life insurance, and art collections smooth transactions where everyone wins.
The average donor in Southwest Florida has 7 percent of their assets in cash, but a whopping 93 percent is in non-cash assets such as real estate, life insurance, stocks, and various types of valuable personal property.
Cape Coral Community Foundation is one of the leading charitable organizations with specialized training in helping professional advisors lead conversations with donors to give non-cash assets.
Learn how we show professional advisors to increase their assets under management - and help donors to simplify the process of non-cash giving to increase funding for nonprofit organizations.

The News-Press Partners with Cape Coral Community Foundation to Provide Editorial Content
|
|
The News-Press has graciously agreed to support the Cape Coral Community Foundation by running a monthly column about the leadership work of the Foundation as the center for generosity.
The monthly column will explore the joy of generosity and how giving is good for your health and happiness.
"By exploring generosity together as a community, we will discover personal fulfillment and pursue a life of purpose," says Michael Chatman, President & CEO of the Cape Coral Community Foundation. "We never tell you how to be generous. We simply celebrate it together through stories and conversation."
The monthly column offers an invitation to those with a giving heart to engage in a conversation to consider the role of money in our life's journey and what it means to live life to the fullest. There is no guilt or duty in the monthly column, only an opportunity to explore the adventure of a generous life.
"We welcome Michael Chatman and his new leadership role at the foundation, and look forward to working together to build a better Cape Coral community.
Cape Coral is growing and we want to play a role in that growth. Part of The News-Press mission is to connect our readers to opportunities to make a difference in their communities.
Much like our partnership with Sarah Owen and the Southwest Florida Community Foundation, these connections allow The News-Press to help strengthen the community we've been a part of for more than 130 years," says Wendy Fullerton Powell, News Director, The News-Press Media Group.

Cape Coral Historical Society & Museum Begins Archival Project
|
|
The Cape Coral Historical Museum is a treasure trove, housing thousands of photos, videos, and artifacts from Cape Coral's past and giving visitors a multi-sensory experience of what began as the vision of Rosen brothers and how they brought it to fruition. It is a true gem on Cape Coral's Cultural Park Boulevard. Museum curators like Shalla Ashorth face the challenging task of cataloging and preserving history for future generations to learn from and enjoy. A grant from the Foundation, along with a gift from the Giving Alliance of Women, will assist the Museum's volunteers and staff as they inventory and archive the wonderful collection housed at the museum, uncovering new and exciting artifacts along the way.
On January 28th from noon to 5:00 p.m., the Museum will be hosting its second annual Bluegrass Jamboree. The Foundation is proud to once again sponsor the Jamboree and we invite all of you to attend. This promises to be a great afternoon of music, food, and fun for all. Tickets are available now thorugh the Museum
online
or by calling 239-772-7037. Gather your family, invite your friends, and join in this great community event to support the Cape Coral Historical Museum!
