Acorn Fund

Giving through The Community Foundation is easier and more accessible than ever.

By giving to the Acorn Fund, you’re doing good as you build your own fund on your own time. You can make donations of any amount to accumulate a giving history to eventually create your own endowed fund. As the Acorn Fund grows, it will award grants to meet the community’s most pressing needs.

How It Works

  • When giving to the fund, the Foundation will track your giving history.
  • You will be notified when your donations reach the minimum fund balance.
  • Once it reaches the minimum fund balance, you may transfer the total sum of your gifts to create a new endowed fund at the Foundation.
  • The annual fund distribution will be used for responsive grants, approved by the Foundation board, to meet the community’s needs.
  • An annual update will be shared, detailing your giving history and any grants awarded by the fund.
  • Donors will receive a report on their giving history annually.

Corporate matching gifts will also be attributed to your total. Other special giving circumstances will be considered.
