An agency fund helps nonprofit organizations build long-term assets and serves as a home for reserve funds. Nonprofits that have agency funds enjoy low-cost investment options and third-party oversight of their assets. Plus, nonprofit staff can access our expertise by connecting with our philanthropic advisors.

How an Agency Fund Works:

1. Quickly and easily set up an agency fund with one simple document.
2. Choose how to invest the fund's assets.
3. The Community Foundation receives contributions from the agency to the fund, and the Foundation processes grants from the fund back to the agency.
4. Staff and volunteers who oversee the agency's finances can view the fund balance, contributions and grants 24/7 through an online donor portal.
