Establish A Fund

In creating a fund with the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry, you shape an easy, effective and powerful way to impact our communities—today and for generations to come. We are proud to be your partner in philanthropy.

Establishing a fund has never been easier or more personal. The extent of your involvement is entirely up to you. We offer donors:

• Flexibility and Focus — You advise on how, when and where to spend the money. The Community Foundation staff helps you transform your wishes into action.
• Reliability — Charitable funds are invested and professionally managed in a large and diversified portfolio.
• Financial Stewardship — We help you achieve maximum tax advantages and work with your financial planners and attorneys to incorporate giving into your plans.
• Support and Leadership — Our professional staff are your ongoing partners in realizing your charitable interests. 

The Community Foundation offers a myriad of fund types to meet our donor's goals.  For a brief overview, download our Types of Funds document [PDF].
