The YouthBridge
Community Foundation offers a variety of fund options to help you meet your
philanthropic goals. Some of our many choices are:
Donor-Advised Funds -
A personal approach to
giving
Establishing a Donor-Advised Fund allows you to create a giving
fund, take a tax deduction now and give from your fund at a later date. You can
work with our staff to suggest ongoing uses for the fund — targeting the issues
you care about most. Grants are issued to charities in the name of the fund or
anonymously if you prefer. It’s a simple, powerful and highly personal approach
to giving. These funds are often used to replace a private foundation with a
more flexible and less expensive way of
giving.
Field of Interest Funds - Connecting
personal values to high impact
opportunities
A Field of Interest Fund lets you
target your gift to address needs in an important area of the community such as
the arts, youth or health. You identify your personal interest area when making
your gift; our board awards grants to community organizations and programs that
are making a difference in the area you select. Your gift stays
flexible enough to meet community needs in your interest area — even as they
change over time.
Scholarship Funds - Investing in deserving
students
By creating a Scholarship, you invest in your
community’s future and show students you care. YouthBridge provides the
expertise to help you meet your personal goals and awards scholarships to
deserving students — from preschool to postgraduate — to achieve their lifetime
dreams.
Unrestricted Funds -
Meeting
ever-changing community needs
When you establish an
Unrestricted Fund, your gift can address a broad range of local children's needs
— including future needs that often cannot be anticipated at the time your gift
is made. We evaluate all aspects of children's well-being: arts and culture,
economic development, education, environment, health and human services,
neighborhood revitalization and more. The flexibility of your unrestricted gift
enables the experts of YouthBridge to respond to the community’s most pressing
needs, today and tomorrow.
Endowment Funds -
Endowing your nonprofit
organization
Nonprofit organizations can also establish a Designated
Fund or agency endowment at the community foundation. It’s a simple and
efficient way to build an endowment — and help create sustainability — for your
nonprofit organization. The YouthBridge experienced staff can also help your
organization develop planned giving programs and assist with investment
management and administrative details.
