Scholarship Funds
Charitable Gift Annuities
Donors may establish Scholarship Funds to benefit students of a particular school, geographic region, educational discipline, gender or other designation.
A charitable gift annuity is a simple contract between a donor and the Community Foundation by which a portion of the amount transferred to the Community Foundation establishes a fund to benefit a charity of the donor’s choice and the remainder is returned to a designated recipient as scheduled income payments.
