Establish A New Fund

Funds can be established by individuals, families and businesses to support almost any charitable purpose with a gift of at least $5,000. Pending Funds are also available to individuals who lack the present requisite minimums to create a fund but anticipate being able to complete such funding within five years.

· Area of Interest Funds

· Donor Advised Funds
Donors make grant recommendations to the Foundation and may vary their recommendations or change their charitable priorities at any time.

· Donor Designated Funds
Donors identify specific organizations or programs which are to consistently receive grants from their funds.
