Donate to Community Impact Funds
With a Community Impact Fund, you can rely on Yolo Community Foundation to identify organizations capable of making the greatest impact in the specific issue area or region of particular importance to you. Dollars contributed to these funds are distributed by the Foundation’s Board of Directors in the form of grants to nonprofit organizations throughout Yolo County.
Donate to an already established designated agency fund
These funds are designed to benefit specific charitable organizations such as a church or a beloved charity. If a specific beneficiary of your fund ceases to exist, the Foundation will identify organizations of similar purpose so that your charitable intentions continue to be fulfilled.
Donate to an already established donor advised fund
Donor Advised Funds allow donors to make suggestions for distributions to meet current needs.
Benefits To Donors
Yolo Community Foundation continues to seek new and innovative ways to meet the needs of charitable donors. As the community's permanent "Charitable Investment Firm," our primary purpose is to work with donors who wish to return a portion of their resources to the community. Many donors choose to give through the Foundation because of the advantages a community foundation offers.
Top 10 Reasons to Support Yolo Community Foundation
There are many reasons to consider a community foundation for charitable giving instead of a private foundation or a commercial gift fund. Here are ten of them:
Ways To Give
Gifts of any amount to an existing Foundation fund are always welcomed and valued. Or, donors may wish to establish their own fund. A modest administrative fee is charged for the services provided to these funds.
What fund types can be created with YCF?
Donors can realize nearly any charitable intent by choosing from the variety of fund types offered by Yolo Community Foundation. These fund types can be created as (1) "endowment funds" in which only the income is distributed and the principal remains intact, or as (2) "pass-thru funds" in which both principal and income are channeled to charitable causes.
