Designated Funds

A Designated Fund is a personalized fund that makes it easy for you to support the causes and organizations you care about. It takes $10,000 to open your Designated Fund. You can use cash, stock, real estate, or other assets to create a named fund, qualify for an immediate income tax deduction, and The Columbus Foundation will regularly distribute grants to the charities you identify when you create your fund.

• Seek to create a legacy of support for your favorite causes
• Want to avoid administrative hassles of charitable giving—from keeping receipts for tax records to simply sending a check regularly

• Appreciate the efficiency of regular distributions sent by The Columbus Foundation to your designated charities
