Frequently Asked Questions

Question:

How can my organization increase its visibility to those having donor-advised funds at the Foundation?

Answer:

Organizations cannot apply for grants through donor-advised funds. Instead, organizations can share organizational and programmatic updates with the Foundation’s Philanthropic Services staff via email and in-person meetings. Armed with that knowledge, the team is able to alert fundholders to community needs and opportunities matching their philanthropic interests. To share information and funding needs, organizations should contact the following staff:
