CORPORATE ADVISED FUND

With a single gift, your company can easily launch or grow its philanthropy program.

Corporate advised funds at Silicon Valley Community Foundation provide an efficient, flexible means to facilitate charitable giving for businesses and their employees. Companies can outsource their entire charitable giving program, or a particular part of it, to the community foundation for expert management and maximum impact.

When you work with Silicon Valley Community Foundation, we can provide:

Expert staff with in-depth knowledge to help develop your corporate charitable giving strategy and goals.
Grants administration and processing. The foundation will issue checks to your chosen charities and handle deposits to the fund.
An array of investment options for your corporate fund, all of which are carefully selected and expertly managed as part of our $1.9 billion portfolio.
Quick and easy online services, including the ability to recommend grants and review monthly fund statements through a secure site.
Exclusive educational and networking events for our corporate fundholders.
Opportunities to learn about community needs and creative ways to address them.
Training for your employee giving committee.
An informative quarterly newsletter developed for our corporate fundholders.
The opportunity to name your corporate fund and issue grants in the company’s name or anonymously, according to your preference.
Quarterly printed fund statements upon request.

A corporate advised fund may be opened with a donation of $25,000 or more. A range of assets, including stock and real estate, may be used to establish or add to a corporate advised fund. Silicon Valley Community Foundation is a pioneer in using pre-IPO stock to create corporate giving programs.
