Becoming a Donor |
|
|
|
What is an endowment? |
|
An endowment is a pool of money that
provides income for the continuing maintenance or on-going support of
an organization or program. An endowment is designed so that the
original gift of the donor is preserved, only the income the original
gift generates is spent. An endowment should be thought of as
permanent.
|
|
People give THROUGH The Defiance Area Foundation, not TO The
Foundation. |
|
The Defiance Area Foundation is here to
serve you. The Foundation exists to administer charitable gifts in
accordance with the wishes of the donors. The Defiance Area Foundation
will continue to meet your charitable goals long into the future. What
is important to the donors is what is important to The Foundation. The
Defiance Area Foundation will work with you to provide for your
favorite church, school, or other charitable organization no matter
where those organizations may be located. |

How does an organization apply for a grant? |
|
The Foundation makes a grant to projects by
or through 501 © (3) organizations as determined by the Internal Revenue
Service as well as duly recognized governmental departments. Grants are
generally not made for projects which have already occurred, debt
retirement, or general operating expenses. With few exceptions, grants are
not made to individuals for a specific individual’s benefit or for purely
personal needs. The Foundation encourages proposals for programs that
address the needs of Defiance County. |

How often are grants awarded? |
|
Grants are awarded four times during the
year, January, April, July and October. |

|
What types of funds can donors establish? |
|
Donors may make contributions in any
amount. Any gift that is not designated as an addition to an existing
fund or used to establish a specific fund is placed in the GENERAL
FUND. Donors make gifts to the GENERAL FUND over a period of time to
reach the amount required to establish a specific fund. There are two
types of funds, restricted and unrestricted. |
