Types of Charitable Funds

Explore the different types of funds below to find the best match for your individual needs.

Assets held in all Greater Horizons’ charitable funds are invested and grow tax-free. You choose how your fund is invested, whether in our investment pools or with your financial advisor.

A donor-advised fund is a charitable giving account that is used to support the charitable organizations you care about. When you contribute cash or complex assets to a donor-advised fund at Greater Horizons, your contribution is tax deductible. Your funds can be invested for tax-free growth and you can recommend charitable grant recipients on your timeline. Learn more or open a donor-advised fund today. If you are an employer, you may also be interested in our corporate donor-advised fund.

A supporting organization is a public charity that supports other charitable organizations. A supporting organization is a popular alternative to a private foundation because of the flexibility and services we provide. Contact info@greaterhorizons.org to learn more about establishing your own supporting organization.

If you have a favorite charity that is near and dear to your heart, a designated fund might be the perfect fit. A designated fund lets you support one specific organization. Setting up a designated fund to receive your contributions gives you the freedom to donate to the charity on your timeline. You can set up additional designated funds if you wish to support more than one charity.

To set up a designated fund, contact us at info@greaterhorizons.org. You can also download our sample Designated Fund Agreement to review the information we will need.

You can support education through a scholarship fund that invests in deserving students from pre-K through postgraduate.

You can set the award criteria and serve on a selection committee to choose the scholarship recipients.

Greater Horizons:

  • Accepts applications
  • Verifies students’ eligibility
  • Processes scholarship payments

The minimum amount required to open a scholarship fund at Greater Horizons is $100,000. 

To set up a scholarship fund, contact us at info@greaterhorizons.org. You can download our sample Scholarship Fund Agreement to review the information needed to get started.

You can create and preserve your charitable legacy through a field-of-interest fund. A field-of-interest fund is aligned with a distinct program area or community. These funds are typically created by individuals, families and organizations who want to ensure their charitable dollars are used for targeted giving. Contact info@greaterhorizons.org to learn more about establishing a field-of-interest fund.
