SEED FUND PROGRAM

Seed Funds allow you to start a fund and gradually build upon it to
create a mature endowment fund. Your Seed Fund
will grow into an endowment that will let you
support the charities or causes you choose
and will forever have an impact on the
quality of life in your community.

HOW IT WORKS:
The Seed Fund Program can be used to
establish any type of endowment fund:
Funds for the Common Good, Field of Interest
Fund, Designated Fund, Agency Fund, Donor-Advised Fund or a
Scholarship Fund.
Donors make an initial contribution of at least $1,000 to establish
the Seed Fund and then use the next three years to build the
fund to the required minimum endowment level. Minimum
endowment levels vary according to fund type.
A funding plan must be submitted at the time the Seed Fund
is established that includes a detailed, reasonable approach to
raising the required fund minimum by a specific date that is no
more than three years from the date the fund is established.
When a seed fund reaches the minimum endowment level, the
fund matures into an active charitable endowment fund.
Distributions can be made to the causes and charities of
the donors choice once the fund has reached the minimum
endowment level.
Gifts are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Consult your
tax advisor.
For more information about establishing a fund at the Community
Foundation, contact Tracy McMath at 419-425-1100
or tmcmath@community-foundation.com.
