Support Specific Nonprofits

 

Donor Designated Fund

With a designated fund, °Ä³¬Ö±²¥ will steward your gift through our prudent investment strategy, awarding an appropriate percentage every year to support your named organizations into perpetuity.

This type of support provides an all-important income stream to support causes you care about. The intent of your giving is preserved even when charities cease operations. You may name contingent organizations or the °Ä³¬Ö±²¥ board will reapply distributions to a similar organization.
