Never a direct cost to you

For all its services, the Hampton Roads Community Foundation will never charge you anything. You receive a charitable tax break when you donate funds. From that point on, your community foundation assesses your fund a modest annual management fee, but not you. See our fees information for details.

We bring regional knowledge and tax-wise expertise

You've been making charitable donations for years so why do you need the Hampton Roads Community Foundation? We might make sense for you if:

• You'd like a charitable partner who knows virtually everything about the Hampton Roads nonprofit sector from the environment to humane animal care.
• You prefer someone else to handle all the details of grants, acknowledgments and accounting.
• Your tax advisor says you would benefit from making a large charitable gift.
• You want to establish an endowment to help your favorite organizations or causes forever.
• You wish to decide your charitable estate plans now, even if they won't be executed for years.
