Preserving Donor Intent

Carrying out donors’ charitable intent is fundamental to our mission.

Whether you entrust the Adams County Community Foundation with a gift of $100 or a multi-million-dollar charitable fund, we pledge to use that money for the purpose you express at the time of the gift.

When a fund is permanently endowed, we are bound to uphold the original intent of that permanent fund forever. Forever is a long time, and if the original purpose should ever become obsolete, the Adams County Community Foundation will redirect your gift to a new purpose as close as possible to the original one.
