Types of Funds
CFGC has created several types of funds to match individual areas of interest.
-
donor-advised funds – make charitable contributions at your suggestion, giving you flexibility to address various needs in the community. Donor-advised funds are ideal if you would like to take a charitable deduction for one year and spread the contributions out over the following years.
- designated funds – give your preferred charities or agencies grants for specified needs or assistance.
- field of interest funds – provide readily-available resources for causes that are of greatest priority to you.
- agency funds – help nonprofit organizations protect and preserve their endowments for future generations. The organizations are also given valuable recognition through inclusion in the Foundation’s investment portfolio.
- memorial funds – ensure that a special person is remembered in perpetuity through a fund that reflects his or her charitable priorities.
- project funds – assist an organization with a specific project or community goal like the Warner Park Kidz Place playground.
- scholarship funds – provide education advantages and assistance for Chattanooga students of lesser privileged areas, levels of income, or schools.
- unrestricted funds – pool unspecified donations and use them to address immediate and pressing needs in the community. Most of these gifts go to the Fund for Chattanooga, the Foundation’s largest fund.
