Fund Options - Individual & Family
There are many flexible ways to support your interests – the choice is yours. How involved do you want to be in your grant making? Do you want to give to a specific organization or a specific area of interest? Launch a scholarship to honor or memorialize a loved one? Restrict your giving to northwest Ohio and/or fund internationally? Create or continue your business giving program? Whatever your giving goals, there is a fund option for you.
A fund at the Foundation can operate like a private foundation, but without the administrative and legal burdens associated with private foundations. When you establish a fund at the Foundation, you choose from a variety of fund options, depending on the degree of involvement you desire.
Community Fund (also referred to as an Unrestricted Fund) – Your gift supports the most pressing needs and effective programs in the community. The Foundation staff identifies the needs and you trust the Foundation to make the decisions on the use of your gift.
Donor Advised Fund – You make recommendations on grants to be given from your fund. The Foundation staff can help you identify organizations you might want to support. A Donor Advised Fund can be a single advised fund or family advised fund, endowed or growth fund.
