This is a simple process that you can initiate by advising the Foundation of your wish to establish a fund. We discuss the many options available and then assist with the preparation of a fund agreement. This agreement will be tailored to your interests and any desired restrictions must be placed on the fund at the time of its creation. Should your interests change over time additional funds can be created to achieve alternative charitable purposes. A new gift agreement will be created for each new fund.
There are minimum gifts required to establish certain types of funds. However, donors can create the fund with an initial gift and pledges that will meet the fund minimums over the next four years.
Fund names can be created in the Donor's Name, in tribute to someone who the donor wished to honour, or a descriptive name about the fund's purpose.
