Becoming a Donor

Carla and Russ Ricci, who are "keenly interested in venture philanthropy and the power of leveraging grants," established a donor advised fund, the Ricci Family Fund, at the Foundation in 2011.

If you want to make a tax-deductible gift to an existing fund, please see Contribute Online. You also may send a check to the Foundation. If you would like to contribute other assets, please contact us.

If you want to establish a permanent fund, here are some questions you should consider:

• What is a permanent fund?
• What type of fund best fulfills your goals?
• Do you wish to establish a fund now through a current gift?
• Or does a deferred gift or life income gift better serve your needs?
