Donor Advised Funds

A personal approach to giving.  A Donor Advised Fund allows you to make a gift to your community foundation, then remain actively involved in suggesting uses for your gift.

Unrestricted Funds

Meeting ever-changing community needs.  Your gift can address a broad range of local needs including future needs that often cannot be anticipated at the time your gift is made.

Field of Interest Funds

Connecting personal values to high-impact opportunities.  You identify your personal interest area when making your gift; our board awards grants to community organizations and programs that are making a difference in the area you select.

Scholarships

Investing in deserving students.  Your gift can help students from preschool to postgraduate achieve their lifetime dreams.

Designated Funds

Helping local organizations sustain and grow.  Designated Fund allows you to support the good work of a specific nonprofit organization; a senior center, museum, or virtually any nonprofit charitable organization.

Agency Funds

Endowing your nonprofit organization.  Nonprofit organizations can also establish a Fund and help create sustainability for their organization.


Supporting Organizations

High impact, high involvement, low hassle.  A Supporting Organization is an excellent alternative to a private foundation with only a fraction of the administrative responsibilities.  You select some of the board members, maintain personal involvement, and support the causes you care about most while enjoying the favorable tax treatment of a public charity.
