Community Funds – Field of Interest

<< Return to Charitable Funds

Connecting personal values to high-impact opportunities.

By establishing a Community Fund in an area of interest (“Field of Interest”), you can target your gift to address needs in an area of community life that is important to you. Arts.  Education.  Environment.  Health Care.  Aging.  At-risk youth. Our board awards grants to community organizations and programs that are making a difference in the area you select.  Your gift stays flexible enough to meet community needs in your interest area — even as they change over time.

While you direct the Community Fund you establish from its creation, the maintenance is left up to us. Our professional program staff continually monitors changing community needs so that you can be sure grants made in the name of your fund make the most impact in your field of interest and create your personal legacy of giving.

You can add any amount to the Community Fund you establish at any time — and so can others who share your interests in community. Your endowed gift becomes a permanent community funding resource.
