DESIGNATED FUNDS

Designated Funds are ideal for donors who want to support one or more specific organizations.

Scholarship Funds are designed for donors who are interested in helping students attend high school, college, university, or vocational school-using criteria of your choice.

Helping organizations grow. Designated funds enable you to support one or more specific organizations of your choice. These funds can be established to ensure that a particular charitable organization will receive your support in perpetuity. This may be an appealing way to support the groups from which you or someone you know may have benefited-such as a school, social service agency, or arts group.

Highlights: If the group you choose to support ceases to exist, the fund you establish will support groups with similar missions and goals. Designated beneficiary funds may be named to recognize the donor(s), a family member, friend, or organization. Or, you can name the fund to ensure your anonymity. YCCF can accept donations of almost any asset, including stock and real estate.

For Scholarship Funds: YCCF staff can help you design scholarship criteria. Scholarships can be established in honor or in memory of a loved one, or named for yourself and/or your family. You will make a permanent impact on the lives of the recipients, who in turn are likely to continue the tradition of helping others when they get older. You can provide funding now or plan for gift from your estate. Starting a scholarship fund is easy. And, we take care of all the administrative details.
