Charitable Fund Options

NTCF offers a variety of fund options to support your giving today and for generations to come.

DONOR ADVISED FUND

Stay actively involved in the grantmaking process. This fund gives you the flexibility to recommend grants to your favorite organizations while our team handles all administrative support.

DESIGNATED FUND

Provide an ongoing, sustainable revenue stream to one or more of your favorite organizations. A convenient and efficient way to provide direct support to specific organizations that are identified when the fund is established.

FIELD OF INTEREST FUND

Make a bigger impact for specific causes close to your heart. Whether it’s healthcare, education or the arts, this fund allows NTCF to identify and award grants to high-performing organizations in any focus area on your behalf.

UNRESTRICTED FUND

Respond to emerging needs in North Texas. This fund entrusts NTCF to target your charitable dollars towards the community’s most pressing needs. These funds are often pooled with additional resources to harness the power of collective giving.

Naming Your Fund

When you open a fund at the Community Foundation you can give it a name that is meaningful to you. For example, the Doe Family Charitable Fund, or the Jane and John Doe Fund for Education.

Endowing Your Fund

Any type of fund can be “endowed,” meaning that a portion of the earnings, not principle, will be used to make grants. This allows you to maximize your impact over time and support your charitable intentions forever.
