The Foundation will make grants from the fund in accordance with the wishes of the donor. The fund will always be credited for grants made from it. Donors to the Operating Fund are designated as Community Sponsors of the Foundation. Prospective donors are encouraged to contact a Board member to discuss the range of opportunities for charitable giving through the Foundation. The process for establishing a new fund within the Foundation is quite straightforward.
Prospective donors write a letter advising that they wish to establish a fund.
An open fund can be added to by the donor or other interested donors. Given that information, the Foundation draws up a Deed of Gift approved by our legal advisor. This is returned to the donor for review. If the Deed of Gift is acceptable to the donor, it should be signed and returned with the donation. The donor will be provided with a charitable tax receipt.
