Program Overview
Through our Investment Partner Program, qualifying investment firms are engaged by Cobb Community Foundation (CCF) to manage, in a single account, all assets held in their clients’ charitable funds at CCF. The investment firm manages the assets collectively while we maintain and track each fund separately. A minimum of $100,000 in collective charitable funds are required to participate in the Investment Partner Program, and a collective fund balance of $250,000 must be reached within 24 months.
For your clients, creating their new fund at CCF is as simple as completing a form. They can contribute securities, cash or other assets acceptable to CCF, or they can grant assets from a private foundation or a donor-advised fund (DAF) held elsewhere.
