Why We Give

Set up your own Named Fund

Have you thought about the impact you can have through giving back to your own community?  Through the creation of a perpetual sub-fund with the Community Foundation you can have the personal satisfaction of directing your donation to a worthwhile cause in your community for the long term.

Named Funds can be a donation or gift in the donor’s lifetime with a particular advice on how it should be used or a bequest with the same intent.  We call it a Named Fund, as the donor has the opportunity to give a name to the sub-fund which may honour someone in their lifetimeor preserve the memory of a family member, friend, pioneer or outstanding citizen.

Named Funds also have the following benefits for donors:

  • It is an efficient and easy alternative to setting up a permanent, private fund. There are no establishment compliance issues or ongoing costs such as accounting, audit and legal costs
  • It will continue to offer a lasting legacy from your giving in our local district
  • On-going trusteeship of the fund by the Community Foundation
  • Tax deductible donations if established during the lifetime of the Donor.
