Foundation has eight Field of Interest Funds that support a variety of community projects. The eight interest areas are: Arts and Culture, Beautification, Civic Projects, Education, Environmental, Health Services, Recreation and Social Welfare. 


Restricted Funds 

By establishing a Restricted Fund you are able to target your giving to specific areas of interest or nonprofit organizations. Your area of interest can be as broad or narrow as you wish, based on your charitable giving interests. 


Donor Advised 

Funds By establishing a Donor Advised Fund you are able to make a charitable gift to the Foundation and remain actively involved in suggesting uses for your gifts. If you have a range of community interests, this may be an ideal vehicle for fulfilling your charitable goals.
