Establishing a Fund
Step 1: Decide When to Make a Gift
Give now - Make a gift during your lifetime and experience first-hand the difference your gift makes.
Give later- Leave a legacy by planning a gift for after your lifetime (a bequest, charitable remainder trust, life insurance, etc.) and ensure the quality of life in our community for future generations.
Do both – Make an impact on the community during and after your lifetime. The Nevada Community Foundation will work with you to create a customized charitable giving plan that includes current gifts as well as deferred gifts.
Step 2: Choose whether the fund will be an endowment or non-endowment
Endowments are permanent funds where only a portion of the investment earnings are available for granting.
Non-Endowments are non-permanent funds where both earnings and principal are available for granting until the fund is depleted or new monies are deposited
Step 3: Select the type of fund that matches your charitable interests
(see Charitable Fund Options)
Step 4: Choose a name and instructions for your fund
After choosing your fund name, you will designate how the fund is to be used within the guidance of the fund type.
