Donor Advised Funds
Donor advised funds are established by donors who wish to actively participate in the grant-making process. Individuals who establish a donor advised fund recommend charitable projects or organizations they want to support. It is easy to give to multiple nonprofits through a donor advised fund.  This is a perfect alternative to creating a private foundation.

Designated Funds
Donors who wish to support a specific agency or cause can establish a designated fund.  If the original charity ceases to exist, becomes obsolete or is unable to perform their charitable purposes, our Board of Trustees is able to redirect the funds to an organization providing similar services without the cost of expensive legal action, and continue to carry out your charitable intent.

Nonprofit Organization Endowment Funds
Many nonprofit organizations establish an endowment fund with us in order to grow assets to meet both current and future needs.  They look to our Board of Trustees for strong investment oversight services and ask our staff to manage all of the administrative details of the endowment.  This can provide a relatively constant source of annual income and help maintain their mission in perpetuity.  It also frees the nonprofit to focus on what they do best in the community.

Field of Interest Funds
Field of interest funds are often established to support particular interest areas, specific program initiatives, causes or geographic areas. At the donor’s request, use of the funds is restricted to a specified area of interest, but flexibility remains to meet changing situations.

Scholarship Funds
The creation of a scholarship fund is attractive to many donors and can be structured to benefit students at any education level, or for a specific institution.  A scholarship fund can also be established to honor or memorialize a loved one.

Unrestricted Funds
Unrestricted funds are not specifically designated for use by a particular agency, cause or area of interest. Our Board of Trustees oversees the use of these funds, setting priorities for their use and determining how grants will be distributed to support the charitable needs of our community.   Unrestricted funds give us the ability to respond to pressing and often changing needs in the community today and forever.
