Your Organization’s Charitable Fund
Creating a charitable fund at the Community Foundation fuels ongoing support for the causes and organizations that shape a brighter future for Broward.
Our expert team helps your fund grow through careful investment. We ensure that grants from your fund are used as intended. Your fund is a powerful, easier alternative to running your own private foundation. We handle the financial management duties so you can focus on the joy of giving.
We have several types of charitable funds for your organization to consider. Creating a Nonprofit Endowment Fund requires an initial gift of $50,000 or more. To create one of our other funds, your organization can get started with a gift of $25,000 or more. For all of our funds, your organization can opt to pledge gifts over time.
