Create Your Own Fund

We offer a variety of fund options that will represent your interests in the community and are an easy and effective way to help you meet your philanthropic goals.

Donor Advised Fund

This fund type offers many of the advantages of a family/private foundation but with greater tax benefit and fewer restrictions. It is a great way to give back to a community that has been good to you. You participate directly in the grantmaking process by recommending annual grants to causes you care about. Learn more here.

• The initial gift size and minimum balance must be at least $10,000.

• You can use stock, cash, or other assets to establish the fund.

• The minimum distribution request must be $200

Endowed Scholarship

Would you like to establish a scholarship in perpetuity? You can make an initial gift of $15,000 and then we’ll invest and generate an annual scholarship. You decide your criteria, we do everything else. You’ll get to meet your recipient at our annual scholarship event! Learn more about endowed scholarships here.

Designated Fund

Is there an organization you love? Designated funds allow you to provide continued or one-time support to one or more specifically named non-profit organizations. You choose the organizations, and over time, we issue grants made in your name. The minimum requirement to open such a fund is $10,000.

Tributes

Any of these funds can be used to honor an individual, occasion, or the memory of a loved one.
