Giving through Athens County Foundation means TO Athens County
The Athens County Foundation provides you a simple, powerful, community-focused, and personal approach to giving. We offer a variety of giving tools to help you achieve your charitable goals. You can make a gift of cash, stocks, bonds, real estate, or other assets, and most charitable gifts qualify for maximum tax advantage under federal law.
Your giving will benefit the community, and it can be tailored to suit your situation and goals. We handle the administrative details, including the back-end work of investing, reporting, and administration.
Funds held at the Athens County Foundation also build community capital and support the Foundation’s work beyond grantmaking. By establishing a fund or supporting one of our funds, you help create a ripple effect of positive change that extends far beyond your individual contributions – enabling community participation, expanding local capacity, enriching local initiatives, and elevating local leaders. Your support of ACF is multiplied to power a co-creation model, of people coming together to shape a stronger, more resilient, more inclusive Athens County.
