The Community Foundation handles all administrative duties associated with your fund at a reasonable cost. The Community Foundation Investment Committee ensures responsible investment policy and conducts regular reviews of investment performance. An independent audit is conducted annually and all grants are publicly announced. An endowment fund established at the Community Foundation will always be here to support community programs. By offering a comprehensive array of endowment funds and a flexible, value-added approach to philanthropy, the Foundation provides a unique vehicle for achieving your charitable objectives.
Unrestricted funds allow the most flexibility in addressing community concerns as they arise.
They address the community's most pressing needs as they change over time. These funds can be established for a general or specific purpose. Organizational Endowment funds provide long-term support for a specific organization and are an excellent vehicle for future deferred gifts. County Affiliate funds allow fund proceeds to be controlled by the respective County Endowment Committee without influence from the other counties involved in the overall Foundation management. Special Project funds address specific issues in the community, partnering with other grantmakers interested in the same issues and often attracting resources from outside our area.
