Giving Opportunities
As a Public Foundation, The B.R. Chamberlain Foundation for Public Enrichment is a tax-exempt public charity that enables people like you to easily and effectively support the issues and communities they care about. The Foundation consists of named funds established by many separate donors – individuals, families, corporations, and organizations – principally for the benefit of the public enrichment both nationally and internationally.
The distinction between giving "to" and giving "through" The B.R. Chamberlain Foundation is an important one. The Foundation is a tool to connect you with charitable causes that matter to you now and for helping you achieve your personal long-term philanthropic goals to enhance the quality of life in the community.
Contributions of all sizes are welcomed. You may contribute to an existing fund, or you can set up your own fund with a gift of $5,000 or more.

So where should you begin?
First you consider what you want to achieve:
Giving back to the community by creating an endowment to meet its future needs?
Ensuring that a favorite cause or organization will receive support far into the future? Finding a cost efficient way to make
corporate gifts? Maximizing tax advantages in any given year? Finding a way to involve family members in philanthropy?
Remembering or honoring a loved one?
Next, consider the giving options and decide how and when you want to give:
An outright gift such as cash, securities, or real estate? A deferred gift using a vehicle such as a trust, insurance policy or IRA? A bequest through your will?
Then, in consultation with you and/or with your professional advisor, The BR Chamberlain Foundation will help you design a flexible and personal charitable legacy: The BR Chamberlain Foundation makes it easy for you to connect generosity with need.
