Choose a fund that is right for you
Regardless of what issue moves you to take action, we can help you create a fund that evolves with you, your family, and your needs. Whether you are considering opening a donor-advised fund to start your charitable giving now or you’re planning for the future, we offer a fund that meets the level of involvement you want in your philanthropy and will make the most meaningful impact.
Donor Advised Funds
Make it personal. Organize and simplify your giving.
Donor-advised funds are a tax-advantaged, convenient way to organize your philanthropy, a great solution for:
- People who want to keep the fun of giving--but lose the paperwork
- Families looking for a way to engage multiple generations in giving
- Securing a charitable deduction when you have a taxable event
- Structuring a corporate giving program
Scholarship Fund
Change the future for deserving students.
You choose your scholarship selection criteria such as the high school or university, field of study, and demographics of students.
We create and manage the student application and award process.
Field of Interest Fund
Make a big impact in the cause or place you are most passionate about.
Establish a Field of Interest fund and make charitable grants to support a cause or a geographic area you care about. Donors have created Community Foundation Field of Interest funds that reflect their unique interests, such as supporting seniors, caring for the Truckee River, and improving classrooms and helping teachers in Washoe County Schools.
Legacy Fund
