Emergency Fund Campaign to raise funding for Adams County charities impacted by the PA State budget impasse. Please help keep vital services to children and families open. Mail your tax deductible contribution to ACCF, P. O. Box 4565, Gettysburg, PA 17325. This fund will pay charities to keep programs running and become a permanent endowed fund after the emergency is over.

COMMUNITY IMPACT FUND

The Emma G. Musselman Foundation and the M.C. Jones Foundation provided the initial seed money for the Community Impact Fund. Some of the annual donors were Adams County National Bank, Gettysburg Rotary Club and many other individuals. This fund is for unrestricted use and the earnings are distributed to charities demonstrating need. To give to this fund or to find out more about the many different funds available, click here.

Creating a New Fund

The staff of the Adams County Community Foundation will make it easy to create your charitable fund. We do all of the paperwork and will give you the information necessary to guide your fund. We recommend you follow these steps:

  • Discuss your charitable ideas and goals with your family, friends, attorney and financial advisor.
  • Determine how you might best achieve your charitable goals and discuss the size and type of gift that is suited for your resources.
  • Contact the foundation to consider the type of fund that meets your charitable interests. Our goal is to help you create the fund that meets your goals.
  • Name your fund. A new fund may be created in your name or a loved one's name, as a memorial to a loved one, or named for a charitable cause that reflects the fund's purpose. If you wish, you, as the donor, may choose to remain anonymous.
