Parsons Area Community Foundation

The Foundation is driven by its donors and manages multiple sizes and types of funds.

All charitable giving may be organized in one place through either a personal or corporate donor advised fund. Donors may also select a particular field of interest to fund such as youth programs or the arts, or designate a particular organization to receive annual income from an endowed fund. The principal of all endowed funds is retained, with only the earnings distributed each year, providing grants into perpetuity.
