Unrestricted Funds. You can use your gift to meet ever-changing community needs — including future needs that often cannot be anticipated at the time your gift is made. We evaluate all aspects of community well-being — arts and culture, economic development,

education, environment, health and human services, neighborhood revitalization, and more. The flexibility of your unrestricted gift enables our local program experts to respond to the community’s most pressing needs, today and tomorrow.

Field of Interest Funds. You can target your gift to address needs in an important area of community life. The arts. The environment. Aging. At-risk youth. You identify your personal interest area when making your gift; our board awards grants to community agencies and programs that are making a difference in the area you select.

Designated Funds. You can direct your gift to a specific agency or purpose. Help provide ongoing funding for a senior center, museum, your church, or virtually any nonprofit charitable organization. You identify the recipient you wish to benefit through your gift; our staff manages the annual distribution of funds.

Donor Advised Funds. You can have ongoing involvement in the use of your gift. You work with our professional grant making staff, identifying ways to use dollars from your Donor Advised Fund to address the issues and needs you care about most. Your recommendations are submitted to our local board for approval; we then distribute grant dollars.

 All grants distributed from a fund — today and in the future — are awarded to charities in the name of the fund. It’s a great way to always be involved with, and remembered for,  a community investment.
