Becoming a Donor

Establishing your own named charitable fund does not require great wealth and it isn't complicated. Plus,

  • You can provide ongoing support to your favorite organizations.
  • You can choose different nonprofit organizations each year during your lifetime.
  • You can make your own choices, or take advantage of our staff's expertise to help you address the community's most pressing challenges.
  • You have the opportunity to distribute gifts during your lifetime or to leave a lasting legacy - or both.

We are here to help with all aspects of your charitable giving.   If you have any questions about becoming a donor that have not been answered in this section, please click here to Contact Us for more information.
