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 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 - AIDS - aging - at-risk youth. You identify your are of interest when making your gift and our board awards grants to community 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 and we manage the annual distribution of funds. 

Donor Advised Funds

You can have ongoing involvement in the use of your gift. You identify 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 board for approval and we then distribute the grant dollars.
