Community Foundation Dues
Community foundation members, for the purposes of dues calculations, are organizations that focus their work on a specific geography, affinity group or interest area. Community foundation grantmaking can vary widely year-to-year, depending on annual ability to raise funds, giving choices of donor advisors, opportunities for large one-time gifts, availability of government “pass through” funds and more. Therefore, MCF’s community foundation dues are assessed based on management expenses, which excludes program service and fundraising expenses. This calculation offers a more stable and predictable dues amount, and it does not penalize a foundation for inordinate fundraising success in a given year.
Community foundations self-report the Management and General Expenses portion of their Total Functional Expenses from their most recent completed fiscal year; this is often equivalent to Part IX, Line 25, Column C on completed 990 forms.
