The Schuylkill Area Community Foundation has many options for donors:
Designated Funds
Ongoing Support

Donor Advised Funds
Involved Annual Giving
Through Donor Advised Funds, a donor can have an active hand in his or her charitable giving by having the right to recommend annually to the Foundation which organization(s) should be supported by the fund. Grants are then made, in the name of the fund, to qualified charities. Since the Foundation administers the fund, donors are assured of its permanence well beyond their own ability to advise.
