Designated Funds offer donors the unique opportunity to establish a named fund dedicated to supporting specific organizations, ensuring your philanthropic vision continues for generations. Like annual contributions, Designated Funds allow your charitable gifts to support the organizations that mean the most to you, with the flexibility to choose one or multiple organizations and determine the allocation of funds.
Why Choose a Designated Fund?
- Endowed or Non-Endowed: Create an endowed fund that preserves the principal indefinitely or choose a non-endowed fund that can be spent down over time.
- Memorialize: Honor a loved one by naming the fund in their memory, or recognize your family with a meaningful legacy.
- Personal Impact: Support the organizations you are passionate about, leaving a lasting mark on causes that matter to you.
- Simplicity: Easily donate, grow your fund with The Community Foundation, and allow us to manage annual distributions for maximum impact. Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) gifts are accepted!
- Legacy Creation: If you choose an endowed fund, you'll create a lasting legacy that continuously supports the areas you're passionate about in perpetuity.
By establishing a Designated Fund, you ensure that your commitment to your favorite organizations continues, enriching the community long into the future. Join us in making a difference!
