Jeffrey Wallace

President @National Christian Foundation

Chicago, IL, US

As President for the Chicago office of the National Christian Foundation, my primary role is to inspire and serve givers, advisors and ministries by developing strategies and solutions to help minimize tax liability and maximize charitable giving. For our office I set our direction along with the speed we are to execute while managing the risk and resources necessary to reach our goals, all the while bulding on our culture of Grace and Love in all we do. Because of my accounting background and extensive work in the PE/VC and Real Estate fields I specialize in working with Principals and Owners to structure their Funds and ownership stakes in way to take advantage of this tremendous opportunity to give more.The National Christian Foundation offers donor advised funds, but with a difference. We are a ministry with Christian values, and our goal is to facilitate and inspire biblical generosity. Our expertise in charitable, estate and tax planning helps convert tax dollars into ministry resources. Unlike the majority of donor advised fund groups, nearly 85% of all contributions that NCF receives in a year are granted to charities that same year. That’s 65% above the industry average of 20% or less. NCF is the leader in large non-cash gifts through our ability to structure and handle complex asset donations. Our mission is to inspire biblical generosity and mobilize resources for ministries, and that can’t be accomplished if money sits in a fund. Our givers agree, which is why NCF ranks #8 in The Chronicle of Philanthropy’s Philanthropy 400.
