Insider Briefing: What is a Community Foundation?

You have likely heard of a community foundation — but what exactly do they do, or how do they differ from other foundations or nonprofit organizations? Community foundations play a vital role in the community, and they can be a tremendous asset for donors and professional advisors as well!

Hear from three panelists as they explore how the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation supports community. Learn more about the Foundation’s unique work, including how we work with professional advisors and donors, and services we provide nonprofits.

Insider Briefing: Partnering with a Community Foundation

As a trusted advisor, you want to provide the best options to meet your clients' needs - including their charitable giving goals. A community foundation can be a great partner to amplify your clients' giving and help them plan for their futures.

Join us for a webinar discussion as we explore the many benefits of partnering with a community foundation. Our panel of Wells Fargo advisors will share their top tips on what questions to ask your clients to assess their giving goals and priorities, and how foundations can help you create unique, personalized solutions for their needs. You will also learn more about the collaborative process of engaging with a community foundation, orientation and ongoing relationship management.
