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 establishthe 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.
