Donor Advised Fund

A Donor Advised Fund enables individuals and families to establish a charitable endowment fund, receive a donation tax receipt and then work with the Delta Community Foundation to recommend grants over time. This type of fund allows for your ongoing participation in the selection of local registered charities you wish to support.

Donor Designated Fund

A Donor Designated Fund is ideal for individuals and families who are certain about what they would like to support and want to secure their wishes with the Delta Community Foundation. This type of fund provides ongoing, annual funding to support a specifically named charitable organization.

Scholarship or Bursary Fund

These funds allow donors to support graduating high school students in Delta.

Operating Fund

A donor may wish to establish a permanent endowment to support the operations of the Delta Community Foundation or contribute to our existing operating fund. A contribution (large or small) ensures the Delta Community Foundation can continue meeting the growing needs of our community.

Agency Fund

Charitable organizations can set up an Agency Fund with the Foundation to build a sustainable stream of income that can be used to support their operations and programs.
