How to Give

You can have ongoing involvement in the use of your gift. You work with our professional staff, identifying ways to use dollars from the donor advised fund you establish to address the issues and needs you care about most. Distributions are ratified by the Board of Directors. We issue grants on your behalf. Learn more about the flexibilty of donor advised funds.

Your gift can address ever-changing community needs —including future needs that often cannot be anticipated at the time your gift is made. The flexibility of your unrestricted gift enables The Community Foundation’s staff and board to respond to the community’s most pressing needs, today and tomorrow. Learn more about the benefits to creating unrestricted funds.

You can target your gift to address needs in an important area of community life. You identify your personal interest area when making your gift; our board awards grants to community organizations and programs that are making a difference in the area you select. Learn more about preference funds.

You can direct your gift to a specific nonprofit organization or purpose. Help provide ongoing funding for a senior center, museum, or virtually any nonprofit charitable organization. You can support your favorite charity forever by creating a designated fund.

You can invest your gift in our community’s future. You determine the criteria students must meet to receive the scholarship you establish. With your assistance, students achieve their academic and career-oriented goals—from preschool to postgraduate work. Learn more about scholarship funds.
