Setting Up a Fund

When to Give:
You can create your fund now, establish it in your will, or create it through a trust arrangement that benefits your family as well as charity. Tax deductions are earned at the time of your gift, while grants awarded from your fund will continue into the future.

What to Give:
Almost any kind of asset can be used to start your fund. We can also discuss options such as bequests, charitable remainder trusts, and charitable lead trusts.

Name your Fund:
Most of our funds are named for the donor, the donor's family, or as a memorial to someone special. Every grant from the fund will carry this name. If you prefer anonymity, you may choose a name that reflects your fund's charitable purposes.

Choose a Type of Fund:
We offer a variety of funds that are flexible to meet our donors' different charitable interests. Click on this link to see the various types of funds.
