Unrestricted Funds

What is an Unrestricted Fund?

An unrestricted fund recognizes that a community’s challenges and opportunities will change. It provides flexible resources to support innovative responses. Fundholders entrust the Foundation with the selection of promising projects to receive grant funding through a competitive process based on community needs. As with all of the Foundation’s funds, distributions are made in the name of the fund or anonymously, as requested. The minimum gift to establish a named unrestricted fund is $10,000.
