These funds offer the broadest giving option, allowing grants to be made wherever our professional staff and board determines our communities needs are the greatest.
This fund type creates grants that meet needs in a particular field or geographic area that is of most interest to you, the donor.
These funds enable you to recommend specific organizations to receive grants.
These funds help students receive the money necessary to pursue academic goals. You may define guidelines for candidacy, the advisory committee, the school and the award itself

We are happy to have the opportunity to have assisted countless organizations in our region as they've grown to become fully-functioning 501-c3 non-profit organizations. Often, these organizations require special assistance as they grow and continue to serve our region, and we work with these organizations and allow them to operate as "pass-throughs" of the Foundation. For a complete list of the pass-through funds, see the list below.
