Donor-advised funds create opportunity for people to give back to their communities in an informed and active way without incurring the paperwork, taxes, and administrative expenses of maintaining a private foundation. As a catalyst for giving, the Community Foundation Alliance and its members are committed to promoting the better-ment of Southwestern Indiana communities and to improving the quality of life for all our citizens. Our donor advisors are an important part of our Community Foundation family, and grants from advised funds are a signifi-cant source of support to vital nonprofit programs serving our communities. The Alliance is committed to responsible and prudent grantmaking with clear goals and procedures, legal knowledge and compliance, and internal and external accountability.
