For more than four decades, Community Foundation of Henderson County (CFHC) has been a trusted center for local giving. We're here to help donors like you make a lasting impact on the causes you care about most. Our team can help you think strategically about your charitable goals to help support the nonprofits you love, and strengthen our community in meaningful ways.
We also work with you to make your charitable gifts as impactful and tax-efficient as possible. With important federal tax changes taking effect in 2026 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), understanding your giving options is more important than ever. New rules affect charitable deductions for taxpayers who itemize, while also creating a new charitable deduction opportunity for some taxpayers who take the standard deduction. Depending on your financial circumstances, a Donor Advised Fund, a direct charitable contribution, a gift of appreciated stock, or an IRA charitable distribution may be an effective way to accomplish your giving goals.
Planning ahead can help ensure your gifts are completed on time and that you make the most of available charitable giving opportunities.
