Establishing your own named charitable fund is not complicated.  With a fund at the Community Foundation 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.

·         Have the opportunity to distribute gifts during your lifetime or to leave a lasting legacy - or both.
