Field of Interest Funds

Field of Interest funds allow you to support areas of need important to you, such as the arts, education and health care. You can also support a specific community. If you have a passion for a specific area of interest or community, you can establish and name a fund, or join other like-minded contributors to collectively support your favorite cause or issue through an existing fund. The Foundation makes grants in perpetuity to nonprofits that serve your field of interest.
