Establish a Fund

Are you ready to make a difference? Here's how to get started:
√  Discuss your overall philanthropic goal with your family members and legal or tax advisors.

√ Decide when to give: You can create your fund now, establish it in your will, or create it through a trust arrangement that benefits your family as well as charity.

√  Determine the causes/organization that you want to support. You may give in honor of an anniversary, to celebrate a special event, or to support a cause. Tax deductions are earned at the time of your gift, while grants awarded from your fund, will continue into the future.

√  Decide what to give – Almost any kind of asset can be used to start your funds, such as cash, publicly traded securities, closely held stock, interests in limited partnerships, real estate, life insurance, and private foundation assets.

√  Choose a Type of Fund – We offer a variety of funds that are flexible to meet our donors’ different charitable interests. 

√  Learn more about the different types of funds here:
    - Unrestricted Community Fund
    - Field of Interest
    - Designated Fund
    - Donor Advised Fund
    - Scholarship Funds

√  Meet with us to discuss how to implement your plan.

√  Complete the fund agreement.

√  Make your donation to initiate your partnership with the Kent Community Foundation through intentional giving.
