Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

MISSION: The Community Foundation of Harford County (CFHC) is a 501(c)3 non-profit foundation that is committed to promoting and increasing philanthropy by building and managing permanent endowments and gifts to meet the present and emerging needs of Harford County and its nonprofit community.

INTRODUCTION: Founded in 2007, the CFHC exists as a means for local citizens to make a difference in their community, managing funds to ensure that every charitable dollar contributed generates the greatest possible impact over an extended time. The funds represent the varied interests and objectives of their donors, matching them with like-minded charities in the community. Contributions made are used to build permanently endowed funds for philanthropic purposes and the income generated by these endowments is used to make grants to local nonprofit organizations. To fund these initiatives, a consistent revenue stream coupled with a strong investment policy is needed.

Goal 1: Serve as a credible and reliable steward of charitable gifts in order to build funds and permanent endowments for future generations.

CFHC connects donors to the causes they care most about and helps them build permanent legacies for the community they love.

Goal 2: Strengthen CFHC’s organizational capacity and operational efficiency.

CFHC requires an active and diverse Board of Directors, knowledgeable staff, consistent financial support, and streamlined administrative processes.

Goal 3: Ensure a stable and growing base of operational financial support.

CFHC works to build a diverse network of consistent revenue streams, ensuring that all contributions are used wisely for mission support.

Goal 4: Increase public awareness of CFHC, its mission, services, and impact.

CFHC strives to enhance its profile in the community to attract new donors, increase the holdings of component funds, and create lasting impact.

Goal 5: Create long-term sustainable impact for the community through grant making.

CFHC builds funds for philanthropic purposes and carries out donor intent by making charitable grants to local nonprofit organizations and scholarships.

We are a nonprofit philanthropic organization whose mission is to meet the changing needs and interests of the community for the benefit of Harford County residents.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
