| The Foundation makes it easy for donors to support what they are passionate about in the Dan River Region and beyond. Donors may choose to create a Field of Interest fund, which awards grants targeted to a particular cause or purpose. This type of fund is targeted to your selected focus area, such as the arts, the environment or health and wellness. Or, if you prefer, you can target a more specific interest, such as children with cancer as well as a specific geographic area, such as a county. A Field of Interest fund is a uniquely personal giving option that brings you right to the heart of an issue that moves you. By establishing a Field of Interest fund with The Foundation you can be assured of having an impact on that issue forever. Currently, the Community Foundation has 27 Field of Interest funds. Examples of these types of funds are: The Arts & Cultural Fund – grants to promote the arts and culture of the arts in the Dan River Region The W. Earl and Elise M.G. Allen Fund – grants to benefit the town of Chatham and Pittsylvania County The Jack W. Hall Memorial Fund – grants provide medication and other necessary assistance to people suffering from chronic kidney and renal diseases and disorders If you are interested in learning more about starting a Field of Interest fund don’t hesitate to reach out to our staff at 434-793-0884 or email info@cfdrr.org for more information.
