Designated Funds
Helping local organizations sustain and grow.

Establishing a Designated Fund allows you to support the good work of a specific nonprofit organization - a senior center, museum, or virtually any nonprofit charitable organization. Because it's given through your community foundation, your gift provides the organization you select not only funding, but also planned giving and investment management services and the power of endowment.

Endowing your nonprofit organization. Nonprofit organizations can also establish a Designated Fund or agency endowment at the community foundation. It's a simple and efficient way to build an endowment - and help create sustainability - for your nonprofit organization. The community foundation's experienced staff can also help your organization develop planned giving programs and assist with investment management and administrative details.
