As important as our individual fundholders are to us, we also want to ensure that the nonprofit organizations they support are thriving now and in the future. Did you know that DJCF/SWCF also provides endowment advice and execution support for more than 60 other nonprofit organizations? These services are provided at a 50% discount to our standard community development fee schedule, ensuring that any nonprofit, whether they have $5,000 or $50,000,000, can access institutional, quality endowment investment advice and execution. This is one of the many ways your individual DAF, scholarship, or endowment is benefiting the entire nonprofit community. And that’s not the only way we support our partners in the nonprofit community:
- SWCF serves as the complex gift acceptance arm for the entire philanthropic community. We have experience with stock gifts, closely held business interests, real estate, mineral rights, digital assets, and more. Our gift acceptance policy has just been updated to reflect the modern types of assets that savvy donors are choosing to give to charity.
- We offer short-term financing solutions for other nonprofit agencies – where there’s a mismatch in donor pledges or capital campaigns and project time horizons, SWCF is honored to serve as a financial backstop when traditional bank financing isn’t an option.
- Our expertise in legacy society building is being implemented by organizations big and small – we published a thought piece in July about how to start a legacy-giving society, key considerations for managing the program, and how SWCF can be a helpful partner in those initiatives.Â
