ESTABLISH A FUND

  • Start by determining your charitable goals.  For example, do you want to support a specific organization or a general field of interest such as youth development?  Do you want to be involved in the selection process each year?
  • Select the type of fund that best fits your goals. John Randolph Foundation staff can explain the advantages of each type of fund we offer.
  • Create a name for your fund.  You can use your name, the name of a family member, or the name of a favorite cause – or choose a name that allows you to remain anonymous.
  • Sign a fund agreement.  Our staff will personalize the document based on your wishes.
  • If creating a donor advised fund, you may designate current fund advisors such as yourself and spouse, and successor advisors such as your children.
  • Make an establishing gift. Some donors fund their endowment through an outright gift of cash or appreciated securities.  Other donors choose to defer their gift through a bequest, a life insurance policy, or retirement assets.
