Some of our donors establish funds that support an area of need that is of special, personal interest to them, such as the arts, animal welfare, education, elder care, environment, health and human services, veteran services, and wildlife and land conservation. The Community Foundation plays an active role in the selection of specific grant recipients, and may create an advisory committee to make recommendations for distributions.
The following Funds are examples of funds designed so that any interested donor may make a contribution to the fund and increase its impact.
