How to create a Named Fund

• You make a gift to the Morgan Hill Ccommunity Foundation - you can give cash, real estate, or other assets.

• We set up a special fund in your name, in the name of your family or business, or in honor of any person or organization you choose.

• You receive tax benefits in the year your gift is made.

• You recommend uses for the fund - working with our professional program staff to support the causes and organizations you care about most.

• Your recommendations are presented to our community foundation board for approval.

• We handle all the administrative details and issue grants to charities in the name of the fund you establish (if you prefer, grants can be made anonymously).

• Your gift can be placed into an endowment that is invested over time. Earnings from your fund are used to make grants addressing community needs. Your gift - and all future earnings from your gift - is a permanent source of community capital, helping to do good work forever.

• To get started, fill out and mail in the Named Fund application. (click here to download)
