FIELD OF INTEREST FUNDS

Field of Interest Funds are a way to provide support to organizations that work on issues that you specify. Once you determine the issue(s) you want to support, YCCF's program staff will work with you to identify grant recipients. You can either choose an issue of importance to you, or you may recommend grants to specific groups working on the issue(s) you've chosen.

Supporting the issues you care most about What are they? Field of interest funds support organizations that address particular issues. You decide which area(s) you want to support, and, should you need help, YCCF's staff will recommend suitable grant recipients for your approval. Your fund may contribute to organizations in York County or elsewhere. You may also choose to recommend grants to specific groups working in the area your fund supports.

Highlights: You can recommend grants to charities within your area of interest wherever they are located, or you can delegate grantmaking decisions to Foundation staff. You can make gifts to your fund whenever you want. YCCF can accept donations of almost any asset, including stock and real estate. You can involve your family in charity at any time-and invite them to consider participating in the giving process.
