Ways to Give

Nonprofits

We offer financial support to nonprofit organizations

Through the generosity of our donors, we are able to provide grants to support churches, schools, nonprofit organizations, and government programs in Allen and surrounding counties. Additionally, our designated, field-of-interest, and donor-advised funds enable us to grant resources to nonprofits based on the specific instructions of the fund creators.


Through an agency fund, we offer nonprofits a secure way to hold and invest their assets for future use. Our investment services allow nonprofits to grow their endowment or expendable funds over time, providing the organizations with a stable source of income for their long-term projects and operational needs.

Advisors

We assist advisors in supporting their clients.

We can help advisors support their clients by providing guidance on charitable giving strategies, facilitating complex gift arrangements, and ensuring that donations align with clients’ values and financial goals. 


We greatly appreciate any advisors, lawyers, and accountants who recommend us to their clients, as it allows us to continue operating under our mission to improve the quality of life in Allen, Woodson, and Anderson counties.
