An important aspect of the YVCF mission is to help community members achieve their philanthropic goals.
With this in mind, we invite donors to create a unique fund that reflects their wishes. Then...each year, the income earned from these funds will support the charitable cause it was created for, helping to achieve another important aspect of the YVCF mission: to improve the quality of life for residents of Yakima County.
Almost any type of charitable giving can be accomplished through a fund in the Yakima Valley Community Foundation, whether you want to support a specific organization or a broad range of interests. Grants can be made to any nonprofit organization in the name of your fund or anonymously.
A new named fund can be extablished with a contribution of $5,000 and a simple agreement, usually in one meeting. (A minimum gift of $2,500 will create a named fund, with the understanding it will become $5,000 within two years.) Listed below are the types of funds you might wish to establish:
Designated Fund Assists specific nonprofit organizations
Donor Advised Fund Involves a high level of donor involvement
Field of Interest Fund Supports broad areas of charitable interest
Unrestricted Fund Flexibility to address changing needs
Nonprofit Endowment Permanent support for a specific organizations
The Yakima Valley Community Foundation Tax Identification Number is 20-0697012.
