Think of this as your personal foundation or philanthropic checkbook. Support causes that matter to you when and where it is convenient for you. These charitable giving accounts can by created by individuals, families and organizations.

Fuel the dreams of higher education. Our scholarship funds are created by individuals, families, and organizations who wish to memorialize a loved one, encourage a certain field of study, or want to extend a helping hand for college-bound students. Designed to endure through sound investment, the scholarship will continue on year after year without the need for ongoing fundraising. Alternatively, you may choose to continually add to your fund, growing the amount available to students.

Established by nonprofits to help provide future income, agency funds are a simple and efficient way to create sustainability. A portion of the earnings is distributed to your organization when requested, providing financial support in perpetuity. These long-term funds allow an agency to take advantage of the Community Foundation’s financial management, administrative resources, and expertise. 

Are you inspired to give back to an organization that is close to your heart? These permanent funds provide annual support to the charity or charities of your choice, ensuring financial support for  the designated nonprofit agency into the future.

 Among the most flexible forms of giving, these funds allow CFES to respond to immediate and emerging community needs over time. Because these funds are not restricted to a specific organization or cause, the potential impact is unlimited. 

Support the causes and issues you care deeply about. This type of funding allows you to champion distinct areas of interests (for example, education, human services, health, the arts, and animal welfare,) without naming a specific nonprofit organization. Donors choose a charitable focus area and CFES awards grants to nonprofits meeting the need.
