Designated Funds

Helping organizations grow and sustain.

Establishing a Designated Fund with the Community Foundation allows you to support the good work of a specific nonprofit organization — a senior center, museum, or virtually any charitable organization. Because it’s given through the Community Foundation, your gift provides the organization you select not only funding, but planned giving, investment management services, and the power of endowment. You’ll provide sustainable, ongoing support, that will help expand the impact of your favorite organization. Nonprofit organizations themselves can establish an Agency Endowment, which will continuously endow funds to your organization as a way to build sustainability.

Donor Benefits:

• All gifts made to your fund are fully tax-deductible
• The foundation will handle all the administrative and processing tasks associated with your grants and deposits to your fund
• Flexible and strategic investment options

• You may choose to name the fund for your family or a loved one. You also have the option to remain anonymous or assign a unique name reflecting your charitable mission and values
• Access to your fund 24 hours a day through our secure online resource
