Unrestricted funds

Meet ever-changing community needs

When you establish an unrestricted fund through Placer Community Foundation, your gift can address a broad range of local needs—including future needs that often cannot be anticipated at the time your gift is made. We evaluate all aspects of community well-being: arts and culture, economic development, education, environment, health and human services, neighborhood revitalization, and more. The flexibility of your unrestricted gift enables the Foundation’s program experts to respond to the community’s most pressing needs, today and tomorrow.

Support for changing needs

Unrestricted funds help the Foundation support long-term solutions; respond quickly to emergencies; and meet changing social, cultural, educational, or environmental needs in our community. Grants are made in the name of the fund you establish, creating your personal legacy of giving. You may give your gift immediately or through your will or other estate planning strategy. If you endow your gift, it becomes a permanent community funding resource.
