Start a Community Giving Fund
Starting a community fund is a great way to grow funds that are available for your local community.
Two Ways to Support Your Community
A community giving fund creates a shared resource for local needs and opportunities. Whether you want to respond to changing community priorities or provide ongoing support for a specific organization or purpose, the Foundation can help you choose an approach that fits your goals.
Setting Up An Affilliate Community Fund
Bring neighbors together to guide local giving. A locally focused board can identify community priorities, review grant requests, and recommend support for nonprofit organizations and projects serving the area.
Held at the Foundation, the fund benefits from investment management and administrative support. This approach encourages local participation while helping community leaders focus on where giving can make the greatest difference.
Setting Up A Designated Community Fund
Create lasting support for a specific nonprofit organization or charitable purpose in your community. A designated fund keeps giving focused on the work you want to sustain, from a local organization’s mission to the care of a community space.
The Foundation manages investments, administration, accounting, and distributions, helping provide ongoing support while honoring the fund’s established purpose.
