Why CFMC?

Giving Back

Hundreds of generous individuals and families have chosen to partner with us by creating charitable funds in their lifetimes or through their estates. We steward these assets and make grants to nonprofits, working towards a vision of healthy, safe, vibrant communities.

With a donor advised fund, there’s a lot of flexibility. The staff is extremely helpful from an administrative standpoint. We’ve gotten a great deal of joy and satisfaction from our giving. – David and Laurie Benjamin, Donor Advisors
