 NCCF Helps You Target Your Giving -- and Does So With Complete Integrity Daniel Medinger, 2002 
Honesty, integrity and accountability have become more important than ever when it comes to dealing with non-profit groups. These traits are hallmarks of NCCF, according to Daniel Medinger, who serves as a Trustee, Corporate Secretary and the organization's Communications Council chair.Mr. Medinger is chief operating officer of The Cathedral Foundation, Associate Publisher of The Catholic Review, the newspaper for the Archdiocese of Baltimore, Md., and has served on the Board of NCCF since 2001. "NCCF is an extraordinarily good steward of its resources," says the publisher, who is actively involved with several other Catholic non-profits. "And it's different from any other group that I've served." How so? For one thing, NCCF is administered by lay people -- giving it a unique form of governance. This frees the foundation from parochialism and gives NCCF an openness to the broadest possible agenda. Particularly, says Mr. Medinger, it has more of a business focus than most non-profits. Second, the organization benefits from the credibility of the Raskob Foundation, which has a long tradition of trust, established over many generations. And third, NCCF operates like a "Catholic bank," putting people in charge of how they conduct their philanthropy and enabling them to target their giving to exactly the type of recipients they choose. "It's one thing to write a check to a group," says Mr. Medinger. "But it's quite another to say: 'I want to fund left-handed Catholic tuba players in West Virginia.' You can be that fine-tuned with the NCCF." Thanks to NCCF's extensive catalogue of ministries, donors can search for just the right organization that matches their philanthropic goals. Moreover, says Mr. Medinger, NCCF is not just a Catholic organization. Rather, it serves a broad, ecumenical audience, and utilizes the word "catholic" to mean "universal," while operating in harmony with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church as taught in the Second Vatican Council. "NCCF reaches out to the wider community," he notes. And, he adds, "What's going on at NCCF is very inspirational. You don't always get that with non-profits. NCCF is refreshingly new, and that's what makes it exciting to be around." Click Here for more information about Donor-Advised Funds. |
