You can give in any amount to an existing grantmaking fund, such as Community Funds or Field of Interest Funds supporting community needs, or to a scholarship fund supporting local students.
Or you can establish your own named grantmaking fund, a simple process which can be done with a minimum gift of $15,000 (scholarship minimum $50,000). Through one of our variety of grantmaking funds, you can:
Provide ongoing support to your favorite organizations.
Choose different nonprofit organizations each year during your lifetime.
Make your own choices, or take advantage of our staff's expertise to help you address the community's most pressing challenges.
Distribute gifts during your lifetime or leave a lasting legacy through a will or bequest - or do both.
Use the name of your fund in making every grant or be anonymous, whichever your prefer.
