Field of Interest Fund

What is a Field of Interest Fund?

A field of interest fund supports a broadly defined area such as the arts, the environment or health or a more narrow interest such as dental care for children of low-income families.  Fundholders identify their area of interest and can participate in the grantmaking process or utilize the Foundation’s expertise to identify worthy grantees.  The minimum gift to establish a named field of interest fund is $10,000.

When is a Field of Interest Fund Best?

Create a field of interest fund when you are passionate about a community issue and want the flexibility to support it in perpetuity, without necessarily committing your funds to specific organizations.
