Field of Interest Funds
For Categories of Care
A Field of Interest Fund may be one used for particular populations, such as our children or the elderly, or it may focus on issues, such as those that are Israel related, support for the arts, Holocaust, Jewish education, community relations, special needs or another general area or purpose.
Such funds give Richmond Jewish Foundation the discretion to name the particular beneficiary charity that will receive a grant from such a fund in a given year.
A Field of Interest Fund allows you or your family to create a permanent resource earmarked with a specific philanthropic mission for a challenge or opportunity that is especially close to your heart. When you support a class of charitable beneficiaries, or purposes, you allow for some uncertainty about the future while recognizing that Richmond Jewish Foundation will always be here to determine where the dollars are needed most.
Establishing a Field of Interest Fund can offer a meaningful legacy specific enough to suit your heartfelt priorities and general enough to accommodate a future certain to be marked by change. The Foundation determines the specific recipient organizations or programs in the field of interest specified by the donor.
Donations to an existing Field of Interest Fund serve as an appropriate way to honor a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, an engagement, a special joy, a tender loss or another occasion.
