The Foundation offers many gifting options for establishing or adding to a named charitable fund. It is recognized by the IRS as a public charity, therefore, donors are provided with the maximum tax benefits allowed by law for all gifting options. Donors can start a fund to satisfy their specific charitable objectives, no matter how big or small. Donors can add to a fund at any time and in any dollar amount.
The Foundation invites anyone to get started by giving to the Friends of the Community Fund which supports the Foundation in its mission to impact our community. Supporting the Foundation is the ultimate way to give.
Establishing your own named charitable fund is easy and does not require substantial commitment. Funds can be established with any amount and can satisfy your specific charitable objectives.
The Foundation manages over 150 funds. You can choose to contribute to an already-established fund that mirrors your interests and immediately increase its capacity. This is a powerful way to memorialize or honor a loved one or celebrate an event while generating a lasting impact on the entity or cause you choose.
A gift to the Friends of the Community Fund helps the Foundation continue to impact our community and sustains its mission to improve the quality of life in our region. The Foundation's over $20 million in grants, mostly donor-directed, to Acadiana nonprofits could not be possible without Friends like you.
Stay connected to the pulse of our community's needs by giving a gift, at any level, to this Fund. Your gift makes you an annual member of the Foundation, and you receive many benefits.
Whatever your stage in life, your financial circumstances, or your charitable goals, the Foundation can help you make a gift that benefits the community you care about, as well as dramatically reducing estate and inheritance taxes for your loved ones.
