Designated Funds: For the donor who wishes to provide permanent support to a particular nonprofit organization or a number of nonprofit organizations. Principal and income can be distributed in accordance with the donor. However, the IRS requires the Community Foundation’s board to give final approval for all distributions. This fund is selected by people who wish to provide annual support to one or more designated charitable organizations in perpetuity. For many, this is a way to endow their annual giving to organizations they have supported over the years.
Field of Interest Funds: The donor may specify a particular area of concern or interest but not an organization. This frees the gift from restrictions if not relevant or practical in the future. The KNSCF's board advises the donor on disbursement of the funds, and selects the most appropriate program within the fields specified by the donor. This fund appeals to people who prefer to direct their contributions for specific areas of interest or concern such as support for the health & wellness, public education, public spaces or youth and senior programs.
