Getting Started

Do you want to support your community, but don’t know where to start? The Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation can help you develop and implement a giving plan that meets your needs.
Here’s a just a few of the questions we’ll ask to help you determine how to best achieve your vision of a better tomorrow.

What are your goals? Reach out to family members, friends, and financial advisors to start outlining what you hope to accomplish with your gift. DSACF staff members can sit down with you as well to help determine if your needs can be met through any one of our many gift giving options.
Should you give now or later? Based on your goals and financial situation, we can help you decide if you should establish a fund now, give to an existing fund, give a gift through your will, or use other planned giving strategies.
What should you give? Working with you, we can talk about the different assets you can use to make a gift that provide the most benefit to you and the community. Whether it is cash, stock, real estate, life insurance, or some other asset, there are plenty of options from which to choose.
How involved do you want to be? By working with the Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation, your options for involvement, after you make a gift, are endless. With a donor advised fund you can recommend grants regularly using our online tool just for donors—Donor Central, choose a field of interest fund, make an unrestricted gift, or designate a specific charity.
