  • Establishing your own named charitable fund is easy and does not require any substantial commitment.
     
    A donor advised fund, a charitable giving vehicle, can be established with any amount you choose. The fund can be non-endowed (non permanent) or endowed (lasting forever).
     
  • The Foundation has over 150 different funds. Several of these funds benefit specific entities or causes, providing opportunity to give creatively to the causes you care about.

    If one of the Foundation's existing funds meets your charitable objectives, you can contribute, and your gift is leveraged with other donors who also wish to make a difference in their community.
  • A gift to the Friends of the Community Fund helps the Foundation to continue to impact our community and enhances the quality of life through philanthropy. 
     
    The Foundation has successfully made grants of almost $20 milion in Acadiana with the support of its members and "Friends". 
     
  • A variety of assets can be made available for charitable purposes-immediately and perpuity. By making bequests and other "planned gifts," you can continue to support the organizations that are making a difference in our communities.
     
    We encourage you to work with your professional advisors and our team of capable staff to realize the many benefits of leaving a legacy with the Foundation.
