What are you interested in?

Some of the pleasure of establishing a fund at The Foundation comes from deciding what your fund will be for and what you’ll name it. Take a moment to consider the causes that matter most to you. The environment? Animal welfare? Preservation? Education? The Arts? A permanently endowed fund ensures that your original gift to support these causes will grow year after year. That means that more charitable dollars can be distributed to what’s important to you, every year and forever.

Become a member of a select group by creating a bequest in your will to benefit your favorite charity or cause. You’ll be among donors like Ken & Dottie Schaible, who gave back both to the general community and to their favorite institution, the Boys & Girls Club. Or Mary L. Pepe, who honored her loved ones and made a lasting commitment to change in her community with the Pepe Family Fund. Not sure where you want to give? Ask us for recommendations. We are intimately familiar with the non-profits working in and around the Valley. Why? Because they apply to us for grants. We know who gets great results, who has good management, who has exciting plans.
