• Start a scholarship fund to memorialize or honor someone, celebrate your alma mater or promote a chosen career field.
• Create a legacy fund by remembering the Community Foundation in your will.
• Establish a fund in the name of your private foundation.
• Begin a designated fund, which allows you to identify specific nonprofit organizations as grant beneficiaries.
• Make a significant gift while retaining income or achieving other financial goals for yourself, your family or your estate by setting up various giving structures, such as a charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder trust.
