Hide List[X]

List of Funds

• Undesignated Fund: This fund gives Camphill Foundation the support it needs to respond to the operational, program and research needs of organizations that practice and research curative education, community living and social therapy. A minimum gift of $25,000 in bonds, cash, securities, stock or property is required. This commitment can be met with the initial gift or fulfilled within five years of the initial gift.
• Donor Advised Fund: This is an appealing alternative for those who want to have an active role in grantmaking, but do not want the headaches and costs associated with running a family foundation. Donor advised funds can be named or anonymous. You can recommend potential grantees to Camphill Foundation and all grants are approved by the Board of Camphill Foundation. This is the only fund that serves as an attractive and efficient mechanism for intergenerational philanthropy. By naming a son, daughter, nephew or niece as a successor advisor, they become a member of the Camphill Foundation Junior Board until they succeed you as advisor to the fund. A minimum gift of $25,000 in bonds, cash, securities, stock or property is required. This commitment can be met with the initial gift or fulfilled within five years of the initial gift.
• Field of Interest Fund: If you wish to earmark your philanthropy for a particular region or field (e.g. Russia, South Africa, Depression or Cerebral Palsy), this type of fund allows you to broaden your impact. Camphill Foundation will help you develop the specifications for your fund. Our Grant Review Committee will recommend grants according to the agreed-upon criteria. A minimum gift of $25,000 in bonds, cash, securities, stock or property is required. This investment can be met with the initial gift or fulfilled within five years of the initial gift.

• Tribute Fund: If you have a friend whose child has autism or you wish to recognize the accomplishments of someone with a cognitive disability, what better way to show your support than to name a fund in his/her honor? A minimum gift of $25,000 in bonds, cash, securities, stock or property is required. This investment can be met with the initial gift or fulfilled within five years of the initial gift.

The minimum initial investment is $250,000.
• Designated Fund: You can identify a specific non-profit or non-governmental organization to receive funding for a set period of time (minimum is five years) or in perpetuity. The organization must demonstrate that its mission and core values align with those of Camphill Foundation. The minimum initial investment is $250,000.
• Circle of Friends Fund: If you have friends who also want to make a difference in the lives of those living with developmental, cognitive, and psychological disabilities, you can magnify your collective impact by bringing them together to create a fund for a particular region or population. Camphill Foundation will assist the group in establishing grantmaking criteria. The Foundation's Grant Review Committee will then disburse funds accordingly. Your circle of friends can choose to be anonymous or be recognized in Camphill Foundation's Community of Donors as members of the fund. The minimum initial investment is $250,000 in bonds, cash, securities, stock or property. This commitment can be met with the initial gift or fulfilled within five years of the initial gift.
