Field of interest funds

Connect personal values to high-impact opportunities

By establishing a field of interest fund through Placer Community Foundation, you can target your gift to address needs in an important area of community life, such as arts and culture; children, youth and families; education; community and neighborhood development; social justice; health and medicine; animal welfare; environment or historic preservation.

Target your giving

You identify your personal interest area when making your gift; our board awards grants to community organizations and programs that are making a difference in the area you select. Your gift stays flexible enough to meet community needs in your interest area, even as they change over time.

While you define the field of interest for your fund when you create it, we take care of the maintenance. We continually monitor community needs so you can be sure grants made in the name of the fund make the most impact in your field of interest and create your personal legacy of giving.

You can add any amount to the fund at any time, along with others who share your interests in community. If you endow your gift, it becomes a permanent community funding resource.
