Funds in the Foundation

The Foundation offers special services to donors and professional advisors to fulfill philanthropic goals. Contact the Foundation to learn more about how it can help you. See How to Establish a Fund and Ways to Give.

The Foundation's endowment is made up of separate individual funds. Each is established with an endowment agreement and is accounted for separately.

The funds listed below demonstrate what a wide variety of interests people have. Each of them is established with a fund agreement, which directs how the donor wants grants used now and far into the future. The endowments are pooled for investment purposes but accounted for separately.

Anyone can add to any of them at any time in any amount. What interests you?
