Start your own Fund
TPF offers an easy, flexible, effective and permanent way to accomplish your philanthropic dreams.
TPF "named funds" are established and named by a donor, family or a corporation. Different options for starting a fund are as follows: As one of the most flexible giving options for a donor, a Donor-Advised fund permits the donor to suggest specific grants to be made from the fund to a variety of organizations in a variety of fields. These recommendations are not legally binding, but are taken into consideration when grants are made.
The donor establishes the fund, but gives the Board of Directors the discretion to make grants from annual earnings for a broad range of community needs. Unrestricted gifts enable TPF to respond to changing community needs from year to year while perpetuating donor generosity. These funds are similar to the unrestricted funds, in that the Board of Directors of TPF selects the final recipients, but only within a particular issue area chosen by the donor. These are the most specific gifts that a donor makes. The donor establishes an endowed fund to benefit a specific nonprofit organization into perpetuity.
