Field of Interest Endowment Funds

Donor Advised Endowment Funds

Designated Endowment Funds

Unrestricted Endowment Funds

A Field of Interest fund allows donors to specify an interest area, either broadly or narrowly defined. The Foundation has discretion to make grants within the donor’s interest area. Funds can be endowed, or principal may also be available for grants depending on donor intent. Arts Alive! CenturyLink Economic Development Fund Dekko Childcare Endowment John Slavich Fund for Whitley County Youth Richland Township Community Field of Interest Fund Roy Kilby Youth Sports Endowment Fund Shirley Ann Gates Fund The Walter and Dorothy Weick Memorial Fund Women’s Giving Circle Fund for Women’s Health

A Donor Advised Fund is an easy, cost-effective way for donors to support charitable projects anywhere in the world, at any time they choose. Gifts to Donor Advised Funds qualify for an immediate tax deduction, regardless of when the donor decides to recommend a contribution. Foundation staff will confirm that the donor's charities meet IRS requirements and then issue grant checks to the organizations from the Donor Advised Fund. Benton W. and Thelma L. Bloom Fund EDL Legacy Fund James and September McConnell Family Fund John and Laura Lefever Fund Lloyd & Maryjane Geyer/Denzil & Betty Schrader Memorial Fund M.

A designated fund is an ideal choice when you want to support one or more favorite nonprofits in perpetuity. When you endow your designated fund, your giving will provide a lasting legacy to sustain the nonprofits you select. Should any of your designated nonprofits cease to exist or change its mission, the Community Foundation will ensure that the funds are redirected to a similar organization that meets your charitable intent.

When donors make unrestricted gifts to the Foundation, they are giving us their blessing to direct the contribution where the need is the greatest at any point in time.
