3 Becoming a Donor

Jersey Community Foundation works closely with successful individuals and companies that wish to achieve high impact philanthropic outcomes without the need to set up their own charitable infrastructure. We do this through Donor Advised Funds or Themed Funds that nest within our infrastructure, allowing donors all of the benefits of our expertise, systems and professionalism without compromising on oversight and control.

Donor Advised Funds

We approach all Donor Advised Funds as partnerships between us and the donor. We work closely with the donors during the establishment, management and evaluation phases of the Funds over the long term. Recognising that every donor is unique, donors have the flexibility to exercise as much or as little influence over this process as they wish.

Themed Funds

Themed funds are an alternative option to Donor Advised Funds, supported by one-off or regular gifts from several donors who share a common interest, such as Sport, Mental Health, The Arts or The Environment.

Donors choose to support Themed Funds because they trust the Foundation’s expertise in knowing where the funds will have the greatest impact. Collectively, these funds allow the Foundation to respond to current community needs and to emerging opportunities to for projects, programmes and services across a broad range of charitable organisations.

If you are interested in establishing a fund with us, get in touch with our CEO, Anna Terry, at anna@jerseycommunityfoundation.org. Anna and our team will work closely with you to create a personalised giving plan that aligns with your values and goals.
