Corporate, County and Foundation Lead Donors
Placer Community Foundation extends its great appreciation to our sponsors for sharing our values and investing in our work.
Designated Funds
Designated Funds allow you to support the good work of a specific organization, such as a senior center, a museum or virtually any nonprofit organization.
Donor Advised Funds
Donor Advised Funds are an excellent alternative to a private foundation, with only a fraction of the administrative responsibilities.
You maintain personal involvement and support the causes you care about most while enjoying the favorable tax treatment of a public charity.
Field of Interest Funds
Field of Interest Funds enable you to target your gift to address specific community needs.
Once you identify your personal interest area, our Board awards grants to community organizations and programs in the area you select, such as arts and culture, youth, health, animal welfare or environment.
Scholarship Funds
Scholarship Funds empower you to invest in students and help them achieve their dreams.
You can create a scholarship as a memorial to someone special or use it to express your educational values.
Community Needs and Unrestricted Funds
Unrestricted Funds help the Foundation support long-term solutions, respond quickly to emergencies and meet ever-changing needs in our community.
Grants are made in the name of the fund you establish, creating a personal legacy of giving.
Legacy Giving
PCF’s Legacy Society honors those who have made a commitment through bequests and other planned gifts to sustain our community impact into the future.
