CREATING A FUND          

When my mother passed away, my sister, Kristin, and I wanted to honor my mother in a way that would be meaningful. The Community Foundation helped us to set up a scholarship fund for Wilson High School students to keep her memory with us.

Make an Investment in Your Community.
Creating a fund is simple. There are no start-up costs or set amounts that must be paid out in grants on an annual basis, and you enjoy the maximum tax benefits available by law. Funds can be tailored to meet your charitable interests and financial circumstances.

Assets accepted to create a fund include: cash, securities traded on major exchanges, closely held stock, mutual fund shares, retirement plan assets, real estate, and limited partnerships. If funds aren’t currently available, find out how you can establish a charitable gift annuity, remainder trust, or bequest from your estate for a gift in the future.
