| Crossroads Community Foundation provides you with multiple, flexible giving options. Led by a committee of seasoned, professional investors, the Foundation has distributed nearly $3 million to nonprofits across MetroWest to keep the region a great place to live, work and raise a family. Founded in 1996, Crossroads today holds $6.5 million in assets comprising more than 45 funds, ranging in size from $10,000 to more than $1,000,000. This financial depth gives trustees, staff and community partners the resources to assess community challenges and propose sustainable solutions. Donors have the option to establish endowed or non-endowed funds. The foundation administers each fund separately, yet pools assets into one large, diversified portfolio for the strongest impact. Crossroads' giving options include the following: Types of funds you might establish: Designated - assists one or more specific nonprofit organizations Donor Advised - aids philanthropy with a high level of donor involvement Field of Interest - supports broadly defined areas of charitable interest Agency Endowments - provides permanent support for a specific nonprofit Scholarship - supports education or recognition of deserving individuals Discretionary - offers broad flexibility for addressing changing needs The Community Foundation's fee schedule and detailed information about our Investment Committee, investment managers, and investment performance is available upon request.
