Johnny Van Zant, lately of Lynyrd Skynrd, rather famously said, “When you’re dealing with a big amount of money, you should have your own accountant and your own lawyer.” We might add, “…and a great community foundation” (forgive us for shilling), and great advisors.

Your clients can determine the causes, communities, and organizations they want to support with a Donor Advised Fund. This giving tool allows your client to choose and make recommendations for grants to nonprofits.
Your clients can select a specific charity or group of charities to give to through a Designated Fund. It’s simple. Your client chooses the organization to support and we do the rest. Our team will manage the distribution of funds.
Some clients choose to set up a donor advised fund now, which becomes a designated fund upon their death, to benefit the charitable causes most important to them.
If your clients are passionate about the arts, animals, education, economic development, or another worthy cause, a Field of Interest Fund will allow them to make a difference in the area they care about most. We will connect your clients’ charitable dollars to nonprofits and other groups making the biggest difference for the people or communities they serve
Community impact is amplified with your clients’ gifts to the Community Trust Fund. This endowed fund allows your clients to join a network of donors whose charitable dollars support nonprofits across the state through a granting cycle, under the direction of the Foundation’s Grants Committee.
An Imagine Fund adds your clients’ charitable dollars to the gifts of others to help move significant community projects from imagination to collaboration to implementation. Imagine Funds can benefit any community or area in Mississippi.
