The PACF can work with you to create and package a gift of a PACF charitable fund, pre-established and pre-funded, personalized in the name of your gift recipient. Your gift recipient can be a partner, child, grandchild, colleague, or friend. Frequently taking the form of a Donor Advised Fund, a gift of a Fund empowers the recipient to experience the benefits of working with the community foundation to support their favorite causes.

Whether you are a current fundholder at the community foundation or just considering it, the team at the PACF can help you create this special gift from start to finish, including granting the recipient online access to recommend grants from their new Fund. You can literally put a bow on the carefully rolled up Fund document, sign a card listing the login URL and credentials to view the Fund online, and present the package as a gift. Both giver and receiver will love the experience.

When the recipient is a child or grandchild, educational opportunities are a natural follow-up. For example, you can work with PACF staffers, Julie Posey and Fred Rader to structure a family giving session over Zoom where participants learn the basics of charitable giving and are introduced to key issues facing communities in our region. This type of experience helps the family’s values stay intact across generations.
