Your Philanthropy

You already give back and understand the value of charitable work.  Why then, should you consider a  Fund at the Community Foundation of Broward? 

What is a Fund?

Think of it as your private foundation.  In a single gift, you can start a Fund to support your many charitable causes.  Your gift is invested and you then recommend grants from your Fund for the projects that matter to you.  The grants carry your name, and your philanthropy endures, For Good. For Ever.
