Establish a New Charitable Fund
You may make a gift of cash, appreciated stocks, real estate, or other assets to establish a new endowed fund. The minimum amount to open is $10,000.
We set up a special fund in your name, in the name of your family or business, or in honor of any person or organization you choose. You receive tax benefits in the year your gift is made.
Based on the type of fund you establish, you may be able to stay involved in the good works your gift makes possible.
Our board makes grants in the name of the fund you establish (or, if you prefer, grants can be made anonymously).
We handle the administrative details.
Your gift is placed into an endowment that is invested over time. Earnings from your fund are used to make grants addressing community needs. Your gift – and all future earnings from your gift – is a permanent source of community capital, helping do good work in Virginia.
