explained

establishing a fund

You can direct your gift to a specific charity or issue area. Help provide ongoing funding for a senior centre, museum, your church, or virtually any non-profit charitable organization. You identify the recipient you wish to benefit through your gift; our staff manages the annual distribution of funds.

Designated Funds allow those donors to support one or more charities year after year while also providing alternate directions in case the chosen charity[ies] ceases to exist or ceases to carry on the charitable activities the donor wishes to support.

Furthermore, we will monitor the designated grantees to ensure that they are functioning well and maintain their charitable status. If a charity's focus changes significantly, if it merges with another group, or the purpose it serves becomes obsolete, the Foundation adjusts disbursements to the nearest similar purpose to ensure the Fund continues to carry out the donor's original intent.

These funds are designated to specific organizations that meet the Foundations' eligibility requirements, applications are not accepted by the foundation for these funds.
