Support Your Mission, Now and In the Future

For organizations that are ready, there are many benefits to opening a Nonprofit Fund at the Sacramento Region Community Foundation. Among them:

• Resiliency from a reliable source of income and diversification of revenues. We offer a proven track record in investment management and provide support to help you attract planned gifts.
• Attractiveness to donors who see the permanence of your mission assured by your fund.
• Efficiency that allows you to focus on your core mission rather than managing the hassles investments and/or endowment. Your designated fund advisors have access to a secure, online fund management portal to track your fund’s activities.
• Professional guidance on complex gift transactions such as real estate and planned gifts.
• Investment in a high-quality, diversified investment program at reasonable costs.
• Membership for two to the Planned Giving Forum of Sacramento and continued education on fundraising.
• Inclusion in our online donation portal, and access to additional resources to grow your fund.
• Priority selection in capacity building programs and invitations to be highlighted at in our regular communications.
• Networking opportunities at Foundation events.

We manage dozens of charitable funds for local nonprofit organizations. See our Nonprofit Fund List.

The minimum contribution to set up a Nonprofit Fund is $10,000. We accept a variety of assets and have in-house expertise to process complex gifts, in collaboration with you, your supporters, and your financial advisors. Your fund can also receive planned gifts. See Ways to Give.

Nonprofit endowment funds are for nonprofits that want to protect long-term assets while receiving annual distributions to support their mission. The fund is invested in our endowment portfolio to provide long-term sustainability.

Nonprofit expendable funds are for nonprofits that want to protect medium- to long-term assets. Distributions back to your organization may be requested as needed, providing you with maximum flexibility. The fund is invested in one of our expendable portfolios to generate long-term growth.

You can invest your Nonprofit Fund in our professionally managed investment pools, designed to fit your time horizon and giving goals. See Investment Portfolios.

Our competitive support fees offset the cost of fund administration and are also reinvested in the Sacramento region through our grantmaking and programs — attending to critical regional issues and improving local lives. Our support fees vary based on fund type and, in some cases, on the size of the fund. See our fee schedule.

Yes. Your Nonprofit Fund will have a donation page maintained by the Sacramento Region Community Foundation to accept credit card gifts. For additional assets we accept to grow your Nonprofit Fund, see Ways to Give.
