What is your dream for your
community?
We
encourage philanthropy, but how you achieve your charitable giving goals
depends on what touches your heart and how you think about money.
Do you
want your gift to be used immediately or over the long term? Do you
want to support a specific organization, a general interest, a community
or the tri-state area?
Let us help you design the fund that meets your
charitable goals:
Unrestricted Endowment
Earnings from these funds provide
permanent support for grants, programs, and projects
allowing us to respond to area needs and opportunities in arts and culture, community
betterment, education, health and human services.

Field of
Interest
A donor chooses a specific area of
interest but allows the Community Foundation to select recipients of
fund distributions.

In
accepting a contribution to any fund, the Community Foundation

charitable purpose originally intended. The variance power, as
described in the Community Foundation’s governing documents, assures
donors that if the charitable purpose of their contribution becomes
impractical, impossible or unlawful, the distributions will be
directed to similar purposes.
