Donors who choose to give through the Foundation may do so through any of the following options:

General Endowment:  Allows donors to pool gifts of all sizes into a permanent endowment designed to provide the Foundation maximum flexibility in meeting the most pressing needs within our community today and in the future.


Field-of-Interest:  Allows donors to pool their gifts into a common fund that will generate perpetual support for a shared area of interest.  Income from these funds is then distributed to agencies and programs working within each fund's field of interest (e.g., children and youth, the environment, seniors).


Donor-Advised:  Allows donors the ability to remain an integral part of the giving process by recommending grants to the agencies and programs they wish to support.


Scholarship:  Provides a permanent vehicle for donors to help graduates of area high schools pursue their continuing education goals.


Agency Endowment & Designated:  Provides perpetual support in the form of income for a specific not-for-profit agency.  These funds can be established either by the agency itself or by a common donor.


Operating:  These funds are used to support the general operations of the Foundation.
