Establish a Fund

Creating your own fund is easy and allows you to make a personal impact. The Foundation handles the administrative details while allowing you to focus on your philanthropy. We will work with you to determine the type of fund that will meet your goals.

A donor advised fund allows you to remain actively involved in recommending grants to make the charitable impact you desire. This type of fund is an easy and flexible alternative to a private or family foundation. The minimum to establish a Donor Advised Fund is $10,000.
