Unrestricted Funds. These funds allow the Foundation to allocate the donor’s gift to support the unmet or future charitable needs of the Pinellas community. In 2005, the Foundation funded 48 charitable organizations in Pinellas County. Services provided by these organizations include affordable housing, children and youth, health care, women, family services and animal welfare.

Restricted Funds. These funds benefit charities specified by donors. In 2005, over 45 charities that were designated by donors received distributions from the Foundation.

Field of Interest Funds. Donors who create a field of interest fund name the cause or issue which they desire to support. Currently, the Foundation has Field of Interest funds for the environment, public broadcasting, and social and human services.

Donor Advised Fund. The donor advises the Foundation about how distributions are to be made. The Foundation’s Donor Advised Funds are governed by an Agreement between the donor and the Foundation and by the Foundation’s Guidelines for Donor Advised Funds.

Scholarship Funds. The Foundation currently administers seven scholarship programs. In 2005, it distributed over $116,000 in scholarship awards.

Agency Endowment Funds permit non profits to create permanent revenue streams. Incomes from endowments allow them to weather unforeseen circumstances that might otherwise necessitate the curtailment of services. By placing endowments at the Foundation, these organizations have access to a level of expertise not readily available to other nonprofits. By working with the Community Foundation, these agencies safeguard their endowments forever.

Following is an alphabetized listing of Foundation funds which include the types of funds described above. The Community Foundation holds more than 90 funds and is committed to helping all of our donors become philanthropists by connecting them to the causes they care about most.
