Create a Fund with the Foundation
We would not be able to provide scholarships and community grants without our donors who have established a Fund with the Foundation. You can establish a fund at the Foundation either during your lifetime or through your estate plan. Donors may establish a named fund with a gift of $10,000 or more, or establish a named scholarship fund with a gift of $25,000 or more. There are many flexible fund options to support your interests – the choice is yours.
- How involved do you want to be in your grant making?
- Do you want to give to a specific organization or a specific area of interest?
- Do you want to establish a scholarship to honor or memorialize a loved one?
- Do you want to create or continue your business giving program?
A donor has numerous ways to start a fund during his/her lifetime. Or you can create a Legacy Fund by pledging a gift through your will or estate plan. Here are a few ways for you to make donations to reach your philanthropic goals:
- A cash gift
- A bequest in your will
- A life insurance policy
- Donations of appreciated publicly-traded securities
- Retirement fund accounts
- Real estate (land, residence or vacation home, etc.)
- A charitable remainder trust or charitable lead trust
- Transfer of a private foundation
