Field of Interest Funds
Endowed funds established to support broad areas of interest (ie: arts, education, healthcare) and under the discretion of the Community Foundation’s grantmaking expertise.
Unrestricted Endowment Funds
By creating a named unrestricted endowment fund, your gift empowers the Community Foundation to address our region’s most pressing needs and emerging opportunities while honoring a family name.
