Chester County COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
|
Field of Interest Field of Interest Funds focus on areas of special concern for the donor. Grants from these funds are made to meet community needs within a particular funding interest or a certain geographic area within Chester County. By naming a program area and not a specific organization, flexibility exists to meet the ever-changing needs of the County. (MORE) Donor Designated Designated Funds allow donors to name specific nonprofit organizations as recipients of the distributions generated by the fund. These funds let donors support specific organizations while the Community Foundation ensures professional management and grant monitoring. Grants will be made in the name of the fund so long as the organization remains charitable, in operation, and is consistent with its original purpose. (MORE) Donor Advised An alternative to a private foundation, Donor Advised Funds allow the Donor to establish a fund at the Community Foundation in whatever name they choose. Donors who wish to be active in grantmaking activities often establish this type of fund. Donor Advised Funds offer the ability to make grant recommendations and to include your children, if desired, in advising of the fund in order to share your charitable values and create a legacy of giving in your family. (MORE) Scholarship Establishing a scholarship fund allows the donor to choose to benefit young persons or those who wish to continue education later in life. Additionally, a donor may name the scholarship's advisory committee and the guidelines for candidate selection. Most scholarships at the Community Foundation are for a particular high school or a particular field of study. (MORE) Non-Profit Endowments are established when a nonprofit organization either transfers its endowments to CCCF or begins its endowment with the Foundation. These endowments demonstrate the stability of the nonprofit organization to donors, and are often used in fund-raising campaigns as a vehicle for giving. (MORE)
