- Your board sets the criteria for the fund

It’s a partnership that’s mutually and greatly rewarding. Local nonprofits are invited to learn more about the advantages and details of financial partnership with the Foundation. As Melissa Tausche, President of the Anne McKee Artist’s Fund, commented shortly after the Artist’s Fund shifted its endowment to CFFK, “Having the Community Foundation manage our endowment has solved so many problems for us, I can see why more and more nonprofits will want to partner with the Foundation.”
