Funds

Create a New Fund

If you aren't interested in donating to an existing fund, you may create your own. To learn more about these fund types and how each would best work for you, call (765) 454-7298 or email us to ask a question or schedule an appointment.

  • Honor a loved one or organization

    Anyone may establish a fund of one of these types with a gift of $12,500 or more. These funds may be named to honor a loved one, or named for the purpose of the fund, or the non-profit organization that is supports. Many donors have chosen to establish funds to benefit their church. Foundation staff is available to work with you to make this experience what you really want it to be.

    Call (765) 454-7298 or email us to ask any questions you may have or to schedule an appointment.

    We are always eager to work with your attorney and or your accountant to do all we can to assist you in making a gift in the way that best suits your circumstances.

    YOUR LEGACY IN CARROLL COUNTY

    The Legacy Society is a very special honorary organization within the Foundation. It recognizes those forward thinking individuals who have remembered a fund within the Foundation in their estate planning.

    • Legacy funds can be started with a gift of $1,000.

    • You can have up to six years to grow the fund to $12,500.

    • When the fund reaches that level, it can become a permanent named fund in the Carroll County Community Foundation.

    • It can be named for the type of fund that it is, or with your family name, or in honor/memory of a loved one.

    • You will be recognized in our publications as a Legacy Fund starter, until it has reached the permanent fund level.

    • Grants made from your permanent fund will be a part of your legacy of "making a difference" in Carroll County forever.

Legacy Funds

Sometimes a great idea needs a little time to grow. That's why we created our 'Legacy Fund' as a way for our donors to grow an endowment fund that will provide a permanent income stream to the charitable organization of their choice.

Funds established under the Legacy Fund program are intended to grow to the $12,500 minimum over a period of six years. The first payment would be $1,000, and additional payments can be made for any amount at any time by anyone.

This meets the needs of the donor who has the desire to start a fund but requires a little more time in fulfilling the minimum. As the donor builds the fund, the Foundation will reinvest and credit all interest, dividends and market returns to the fund.

Once the fund reaches the $12,500 minimum, the income will be used to award grants from the fund.
