Helping local organizations sustain and grow.

Establishing a Designated Fund allows you to support the good work of a specific nonprofit organization — a senior center, museum, or virtually any nonprofit charitable organization. Because it’s given through your community foundation, your gift provides the organization you select not only funding, but planned giving and investment management services and the power of endowment.

Designated Funds allow donors to identify the specific non-profit charitable organizations, agencies or programs that will benefit from the gift.
