They are a type of fund that supports organizations or programs addressing specific issues. You decide which area(s) you want to support such as arts and culture, education, older adults, youth, health, or human services. Our Foundation Committee awards grants to community organizations and programs that are making a difference in the area you select. Your gift stays flexible enough to meet community needs in your interest area - even as they change over time.

• A field of interest fund enables the Foundation to strategically address the changing community needs in the areas which you designate.
• You choose the field of interest you wish to support and the Foundation handles the rest.
• There is no fee or minimum to establish a fund.

• Discuss a field of interest fund with your financial advisor or a member of the Foundation's Philanthropic Services staff.
• The Foundation will customize a fund agreement for you.
• Make an initial contribution.
