Donor Advised Funds
Creating a donor advised fund provides you with a simple, powerful and highly personal approach to giving – a charitable checkbook. This option allows you to remain actively involved in suggesting uses for your gift. You can recommend grants to charities you wish to support, at your own convenience. You may also choose to work with our staff to identify nonprofits that are particularly effective in addressing the issues that are important to you.

Giving through the Community Foundation allows me to use my funds in a more advantageous way. I like having the ability to put money in that can accumulate even though it’s intended to be given. It also provides tax advantages.
Having a fund at the Community Foundation has been a really nice vehicle for me to get more strategic with our giving model as a family.
