Collective Giving Increases Impact

Your clients’ giving goes further when their contributions are pooled with gifts from other like-minded donors, then focused on a cause or issue.

Clients can give to any of our collective funds that match their passions, or field of interest, such as our Field of Interest funds for Women and Girls, Academic Excellence, the Environment, Health and Wellness, and the Center for Nonprofit Excellence.

We can help you and your clients choose funds that match their charitable desires and passions. Or, your clients can create their own Field of Interest fund to address a cause close to their heart.

Giving to Other Funds

In addition, your clients can contribute to other Community Foundation funds that match their interests and passions. They can make gifts to:

Donor advised funds established by others that address the same charitable passions

Designated funds that support specific nonprofits

Organization endowment funds established by nonprofits your clients support

Scholarship funds that benefit children from Fairfield County

Discretionary funds that address the changing needs in Fairfield County

How to Get Started

We help you match the appropriate fund to your clients' charitable goals, then walk them through the simple process.
