Endowment and Funds
A community foundation's endowment is made up of smaller
endowments called "funds," each of which is
established by a separate agreement and is accounted for
separately. These funds are designed to carry out the
philanthropic intentions of the founding contributors.
The corpus of a fund is pooled with other funds for
investment purposes. Disbursements from the fund in the
form of grants, scholarships, or payments to designated
agencies are made from investment earnings only; the
fund principal generally remains intact. If you would
like to give a gift to one of the funds listed below,

different ways to give to The Community Foundation.
Types of Funds
Advised Funds
Advised funds allow donors to take an active role by
making suggestions on which charitable cause to support
each year. Advised
fund list.
Designated Funds
Designated funds allow the donor to support favorite
causes in perpetuity.
Designated fund list.
Field of Interest Funds
A field-of-interest fund benefits causes in a field the
donor chooses (for example, education, the environment,
care of the elderly). The board of directors selects
recipients in the desired field.
Field of Interest fund list.
Undesignated or Discretionary Funds
Donors place no restrictions on how earnings from the
funds can be used, thus allowing the board of directors
maximum flexibility in addressing ever-changing
community needs.
Discretionary fund list.
