Establish Your Named Fund
Establishing your own fund is an effective and rewarding way to participate in the campaign for northern Chautauqua.
The campaign for northern Chautauqua aims to provide lasting support for the region we all love. We invite you to support the campaign by establishing a Community Fund in your own name. These named funds are funded by visionary donors who entrust their charitable gifts to NCCF based on our long history of thoughtful stewardship.
Community Funds support grantmaking that addresses the immediate and changing needs of the community, economic development, service learning projects, capacity building, COVID-19 relief, and more. Unrestricted in nature, Community Funds offer the greatest flexibility, allowing us to adapt quickly as emerging needs and opportunities are identified.
When you create your named Community Fund, you demonstrate an unparalleled commitment to our community’s future and entrust the NCCF’s leadership as your agent in moving our community forward in perpetuity.
NCCF recently celebrated 35 years of working hand in hand with our donors and community partners toward our vision of a vibrant, healthy, prosperous northern Chautauqua region.
In celebration of NCCF’s 35 years, we have lowered the minimum required to establish a named Community Fund to $3,500.
A named fund is a beautiful way to honor a loved one or create a lasting legacy in your community for your family. Call our office today at 716-366-4892 or email lwille@nccfoundation.org for more information on setting up your own named Community Fund.
