FIELD OF INTEREST FUNDS
With a field of interest fund, donors specify an
interest area and the Foundation finds effective
organizations and projects to fulfill the purpose.
Field of interest funds combine donor interests
with flexibility to respond to changing
community needs.
If a donor supports a particular charitable goal or
cause, establishing a field of interest fund with a
gift of $5,000 or more can provide the vehicle for
that type of giving.

civic leadership development.
