How to Start a Fund

Tailored Charitable Giving for Every Donor

As a community foundation, one of our defining features is our ability to design and administer charitable funds that are unique to each individual donor. We have the great privilege of administering an ever-growing number of funds serving a wide range of charitable interests and community needs.

You are invited to either create your own community resource or give to any of our existing funds. We know establishing a fund is a big decision, but we make it easy by guiding you from start to finish.

3 Simple Steps to Creating an Endowed Fund

  1. Give it a name. The name of your fund or scholarship can create a legacy, honor a loved one or reflect your passion.
  2. Give it a purpose. What matters most to you? We can design a fund that will achieve your goals.
  3. Give it your support. Make your tax-deductible gifts to your fund now, or through your estate.

Let us help you act on your good intentions for the Dan River Region. We make it simple. If you are interested in learning more, please contact us or speak with your professional advisor.
