Our fees are reasonable. Local governance assures responsiveness and accountability to you. The Greater Harrisburg Foundation is expert in all these areas. While some larger charities have development staff, many smaller ones don't. The Greater Harrisburg Foundation can offer you the expertise of a staff knowledgeable about sophisticated gift plans such as charitable remainder trusts.
Many donors have interests in supporting several charities.
The Greater Harrisburg Foundation can set up a single endowment fund that supports several charities. Most of us believe that the charities that we are committed to will continue to serve our region forever. Sadly, history tells us that this is not always the case. The Greater Harrisburg Foundation has the built-in flexibility to redirect funds to a similar purpose if the named beneficiary ceases to exist. This flexibility assures that your legacy endures forever, and could never be used to pay off the debts of an agency in financial trouble.
