Ready to get started?

Open a fund

By far our most popular tool for taxwise charitable giving, donor advised funds offer an easy, flexible, and powerful way to structure your giving.

Simplify your giving with a DAF

This fund offers regular support for your favorite charitable organizations. Once you create the fund, our staff will automatically distribute the grants.

Discover the benefits of designated funds

Your passions are an important part of your charitable giving. This fund supports organizations making an impact within your interest areas – ensuring your gifts go where they’re needed most to fulfill your charitable intent.

Champion your passions with a FOI Fund

Community funds meet pressing needs and opportunities for a designated community, such as the Northside Community Fund, Northern Kentucky Fund, Clifton Community Fund, and so on.

Support place-based giving with community funds

GCF can help you and your advisor craft a future planned gift through your will, retirement plan assets, life insurance or other future resources, enabling you to continue your support for causes you care about long after your lifetime.

Craft your legacy

You can choose to invest in the next generation by establishing a scholarship fund with GCF. Whether you are celebrating your alma mater, honoring the memory of a loved one, or supporting a cause you care about, we will respect your intent and assist you in helping future graduates achieve success.

Invest in the next generation

Impact investing is a strategic tool for driving positive social change. Unlike grants, these investments are expected to be returned, allowing funds to be recycled into additional impactful projects.

Drive impact

A private or family foundation provides a personalized experience for generous individuals. GCF offers advisory board support, engages families across generations, and supplies back-office assistance.
