The Western Colorado Community Foundation (WCCF) is excited to announce that Kristin Lynch, Director of Development and Legacy Giving, has earned the designation of Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy (CAP® ) from the American College of Financial Services.
The CAP® credential is for financial and nonprofit professionals focused on the best strategies for philanthropic planning. In addition to mastering the financial details involved in different forms of charitable giving, CAP® designees gain critical interpersonal skills needed to guide clients and donors from philanthropic aspiration to positive social impact.
To achieve this designation, Kristin studied and passed rigorous exams, and proved that she not only had the technical knowledge to serve donors but has also sworn to practice ethically and in the best interest of the people she serves. She will also be required to complete continuing education annually to keep the designation.
Kristin is excited to bring this skillset to the Western Slope and to better serve donors in their charitable planning.
The Western Colorado Community Foundation serves seven counties in western Colorado, managing charitable funds for community good. Currently, the Community Foundation manages over 330 charitable funds totaling $150 million in assets and awards $5.5 million in grants and scholarships annually.
