HOW FUNDS WORK

We have many different types of funds that can help you reach your philanthropic goals. Most are endowment funds, where only the interest is granted to recipients.

Our simplest fund is a Named Fund, which only $1,000 to set up. This would be placed in a Community Fund and can stay there with the donor’s name or in memorium of a friend or family member. Grants are pooled and distributed to many different causes and organizations in our community. Our fund structures are flexible; when the Named Fund reaches $10,000 in donations, it can be converted into a different type of fund.
