What is an Unrestricted Fund?

An unrestricted fund provides flexible permanent resources to support innovative responses. Fundholders entrust the Foundation to award grants to promising projects through a competitive process based on community needs as they change over time. 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.

Create an unrestricted fund when you want your gift to have maximum impact on the region’s most pressing needs – now and forever.
