Canandaigua National Bank & Trust is trustee of The Finger Lakes Area Community Endowment (FLACE). It was created in 1994 to facilitate and stimulate charitable giving throughout the Finger Lakes region. The Community Endowment was awarded exempt status from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as an organization described in Section 501(c) (3) on December 5, 1994.
The purpose is not to compete with the fundraising efforts of existing charities and foundations, but to complement these activities by providing a method for developing pools of capital, known as "Advised Funds," to address the charitable needs of all communities in the Finger Lakes region
An Advised Fund of FLACE provides even the smallest charity with a conduit to enhance the full range of fundraising activities, including annual drives, intermediate projects, and long-term endowments.
The distinctive feature of FLACE is that it allows for the collective management of administrative, investment, and reporting responsibilities required of any charitable trust.
By spreading these common costs over a number of individual Advised Funds within the endowment, a greater amount of the donor's value is able to be transmitted in the form of net benefit to the designated beneficiaries.
The Community Endowment currently consists of two fund categories: 1) Advised Separately Managed Funds - "FLACE Sub-Accounts" and 2) Advised Pooled Funds.
Advised Separately Managed Fund & "FLACE Sub-Accounts"
In the Advised Separately Managed Fund, cash or appreciated securities are contributed to the Community Endowment (FLACE). The donor is entitled to receive a charitable deduction on his or her income tax return for an amount equal to the fair market value of the asset as of the date of the contribution.
Advised Pooled Funds
In the Advised Pooled Fund the donor contributes cash or appreciated securities to the Community Endowment, and is entitled, therefore, to a charitable deduction on his income tax return in the amount of the fair market value of the asset as of the date of the contribution. All such assets received by the Community Endowment constitute a pool and become the property of the Community Endowment, as do the gains, losses, and any income there from. The value of the contribution becomes the fund out of which the donor may advise distributions.
