Nonprofit Funds

When nonprofits establish a charitable fund with Communities Foundation of Texas, we handle all investment management and administrative responsibilities related to the fund on your behalf.

We can also help your organization develop planned giving and endowment-building programs to grow your fund. This allows you to focus on your nonprofit mission, rather than spend time identifying and supervising investment managers and managing investment committees.

Working together, we can further your long-term financial sustainability to meet your mission long into the future.

How does a nonprofit fund work?

  • Nonprofit organization establishes the fund
  • The donors of the nonprofit or the nonprofit itself contribute to the fund
  • Grants are typically made back to the nonprofit
