If you are interested in starting a new fund, please contact a member of our Board of Trustees. They will help you determine the type of fund, name, and how much you would like to give.

Establish a Fund either through a direct contribution, through a legacy gift, or both.  A minimum initial gift of $10,000 will endow your fund immediately, but you may also choose to start with a smaller amount.  Start a Seedling Fund with 10% ($1,000) of the minimum and build it over time.  Once the Fund reaches the endowment minimum, your Fund can begin providing income to support grants for organizations in the Fall Creek Area and will do so forever.
