The Chisholm Trail Communities Foundation’s mission is to help donors fulfill their goals for charitable giving.
We accomplish this by providing information and resources to people who care about causes and charities, and by working with professional advisors to help their clients incorporate charity into their financial and estate plans. We help donors give a meaningful gift now, over time, or even to build legacies for future generations. As a flexible, responsive service organization, we provide a variety of giving vehicles, professional resources, and support to help donors plan their contributions. We seek to make charitable giving easy, accessible, effective, and efficient.
In addition to making charitable giving simple, we assist donors in their charitable giving by helping them make informed choices about the nonprofits they wish to support. To do this, we have developed strong relationships with nonprofits in the area, working with them to build their capacity through direct grantmaking, technical assistance, and to build their organizational funds through our careful investment.
By working with nonprofit organizations, we learn more about programs that reach underserved populations and enrich the lives of our citizens. We are then able to offer donors helpful information about these organizations—such as our databank of area nonprofits—as well as provide them with resources on nonprofit best practices. This helps donors understand the activities and challenges of nonprofits today, and to identify those in alignment with their charitable goals. It also helps them understand the evolving changes and challenges of the communities throughout the Williamson County area.
We also leverage our strong connection with the nonprofit sector to improve communication between the nonprofit sector and the greater community at large, serving as a resource for those seeking to understand the area’s growth and the organizations that work to serve these areas of need.
