What is a Community Foundation?

Several kinds of funds enable your clients to start giving immediately:
- Donor-Advised Funds enable your clients to contribute assets to their fund at any time and then recommend grants to support groups of their choice. They are a flexible, personalized way to support nonprofit groups in Marin, elsewhere in the U.S., or anywhere in the world.
- Scholarship Funds are designed for donors who are interested in helping students attend college or university—using criteria of their choice. The fund can support students who are studying a particular subject, attending a specific school, or graduating from a specific school.
- Designated Beneficiary Funds are ideal for donors who want to support one or more specific organizations—either a school or nonprofit group. Nonprofit groups can also establish this kind of fund as part of their fundraising strategy.
- Unrestricted Funds are idea for donors who want to support the Foundation’s focus areas identified by the Community Foundation’s board of trustees for its discretionary grants. This gives the Foundation the greatest latitude in deciding how to direct grants, based on its assessment of changing community needs.
