St. Joseph, MI 49085
Make your check payable to the Berrien Community Foundation with the fund to which you are giving noted in the memo line or to BCF/Name of Fund.

Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds. These often provide greater tax benefits than a cash gift of equivalent value, especially if they have a low cost basis. You will receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of your asset - even if you initially bought it for less.

Real Estate. Whether it is a home, cottage, business property or undeveloped land, we can turn this asset into a charitable gift. You receive a deduction for the appraised market value (not the original cost).
