Did you know you can support a cause, not just a single organization? And, you can contribute your RMD, QCD, or IRA.

A Field of Interest Fund at ACF lets you focus your giving on what matters most to you, whether that's the arts, education, health, or another passion area. You define the focus when the fund is established, and ACF takes it from there: identifying the organizations best positioned to make an impact in that space and collaborating with a committee to recommend grants that align with your vision.

Want to learn more about establishing a Field of Interest Fund or making a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) or a required minimum distribution (RMD) at ACF? Reach out to Stephanie at [email protected].

There's an old saying that says, "As long as you don't know where you are going, you will always get there." Unfortunately, half of all Americans live each day without a plan for their lives. They lack a will or estate plan. They leave their families vulnerable to misinterpreted wishes, while the causes they worked for all their lives must continue without them.

With simple planning, you ensure your values and a lifetime of your work creates a legacy that lasts for generations and Aspen Community Foundation can help.
