Donors establishing permanent funds can be assured that their gifts will endure to provide lasting benefit to the community. Through the Foundation, donors have the opportunity to carry out their personal long-term philanthropic intentions and be assured that their giving will go on forever.
Unless the donor chooses to remain anonymous, each grant recipient is advised of the fund that provided the gift. The fund may carry the donor’s name, the name of a loved one, a purpose name or any other name selected by the donor. In the case of permanent funds, that recognition will continue forever. Several donors have established memorial funds as tributes to loved ones, guaranteeing that the person’s name will be remembered in perpetuity. Bank trust departments or investment firms will handle the fund you establish along with donations made to each fund. If you are establishing a substantial fund, we can work with you to use an investment advisor or firm of your choice.
How you set up your fund allows for great flexibility. You can choose to start your fund with cash, securities, mutual funds, land, insurance or a host of other creative ways. For simplicity on this site, we refer to the fund you establish in our organization as “Your Name Fund.” You can ask us to name the fund anything you want—your name or your spouse’s name or both, your company’s name, a purpose name, the name of a loved one, or anything else.
