WAYS TO GIVE
There are many ways to give, including cash, securities, real property, stocks, charitable trusts, beneficiary designation and bequests. All offer tax advantages and we will work with you to determine which option for giving best suits your charitable and financial goals. Gifts can be made in memory of a loved one, friend or colleague and can remain anonymous should the donor so desire.
Once you have made a donation, you then have several options as to how your gift will be used. Those options include:
Endowment Fund
Gifts to this fund are not designated for a specific organization, cause or area of interest, which allows the Board the greatest flexibility in directing resources. The Board of Directors oversees these funds by setting priorities for their use and determining how grants will be distributed to best serve the needs of the community.
Donor-Advised Funds
Donor-advised funds are established by donors who wish to actively participate in the grant-making process. Individuals who establish this type of fund recommend charitable projects and/or organizations they wish to support.
Family Funds
Families have the option to establish a donor-advised fund in their name. Family members then determine and direct how proceeds from their fund can best benefit the community.
Field of Interest Funds
Field-of-interest funds are established to support particular interest areas, program initiatives, causes or specific geographic areas. Use of these funds is restricted based on guidelines outlined by the donor.
Scholarship Funds
The creation of a scholarship fund is an attractive funding option for many donors. This type of fund can be structured to benefit students at any level of education or for a specific educational institution. Funds can also be designated for students pursuing degrees in specific areas.
