Types of Funds
Giving Opportunities
Designed to maximize tax-saving benefits while meeting the unique goals of each donor, our funds offer a variety of customized vehicles to support your giving today and for generations to come.
Perfect for donors who want to be actively involved in the grantmaking process.
NTCF can help you identify effective nonprofits and programs, ensure their charitable status and provide grantmaking and administrative support. These funds offer an immediate tax benefit while providing you with the flexibility to make grants over time to your favorite nonprofit organizations. With this fund, you have the option to name a donor successor.
Provide an ongoing, sustainable revenue stream to one or more of your favorite organizations.
Grants from these funds can support a nonprofit for a limited time or in perpetuity. If the organization ceases to exist, an outstanding organization serving the same purpose will benefit from the endowment to ensure your intentions are honored now and always.
Make a bigger impact for specific causes close to your heart with a Field of Interest Fund.
NTCF can identify and award grants to high-performing organizations and programs in cancer treatment, education, arts, youth services or any area of community life you want to support.
Funds without restriction offer the broadest options for charitable giving in our community – and therefore bring about the greatest good.
An unrestricted fund is named by or for the donor and allows the Community Foundation to target dollars toward the community’s most pressing needs and can evolve over time to address emerging issues. This fund provides the flexibility, guidance and resources to help you support the causes you care about or respond in critical moments when it matters most.
