Field of Interest Fund
Charles "Bob" Evenson, a lifelong outdoorsman, was passionate about preserving Michigan's lands and waters. Lucy Barnett felt great compassion for elderly people in need.Mary and David Hunting cared deeply for children and believed that positive camping experiences had the power to transform young lives.
Because of the heartfelt dreams and generous bequests of Mr. Evenson, Ms. Barnett, and the Huntings, Grand Rapids Community Foundation today holds a field of interest fund in each of their names. It is impossible to anticipate the needs that the environment, the elderly population, or summer youth camps will face in future years. But because of the commitment of caring people, those causes will have a secure source of funding through Grand Rapids Community Foundation.
Your fund will award grants to projects or programs within your specified area and carry your name or the name of a loved one in perpetuity. When we approve a grant to an organization in that specific field of interest, we make the gift in your name.
Key benefits to remember:
- Create a lasting gift in one or more special interest areas
- Receive an immediate tax deduction
- Add to your fund at any time
