What is a Field-of-Interest Fund? This fund supports a specific area of interest that you define. Once you identify the area of charitable interest – which can be as broad or narrow as you choose – The Foundation will evaluate the organizations that do the best work in that area and make grants to the organization(s) that best fit your interest. This is an excellent option for donors who wish to leave a legacy through an estate gift or bequest.
