Corporate Giving

Meaningful impact. Sound business strategy.

Corporate philanthropy can have far-reaching results — from strengthening relationships with clients and customers to boosting employee engagement and the bottom line. Most importantly, it can create meaningful change and build stronger communities.

We work with companies of all sizes to develop and manage giving strategies, charitable funds and innovative programs that are mission-aligned and results-driven.

Create more good, more easily and effectively

Effective corporate giving requires more than good intentions. It requires infrastructure, local knowledge, and a partner who understands both the business case and the community context.

FFTC Donor Advised Funds are an effective, flexible and tax-smart structure to manage your giving in one expertly invested account.

With FFTC as your partner, your company gains access to decades of regional expertise, an established grantmaking network, and a personalized approach designed to maximize the reach and credibility of every dollar you commit.

Regional affiliates

FFTC operates across a 13-county region around Charlotte through a network of regional affiliates, each guided by local advisory boards. For companies that want their investment to create visible impact close to where their employees live and work, this is where community knowledge meets strategic giving.

“As part of our commitment to the towns and cities we serve, Food Lion takes pride in being active in the community. Our Corporate Donor Advised Fund at FFTC has been instrumental in allowing our charitable foundation to give back to these communities through the grants we provide.”
