Ways to Give

Setting up your own named fund or endowment is one of the most meaningful ways you can give back to the community you care about. Your fund can provide support over a period of time or in perpetuity. Whatever your philanthropic goal, foundation staff are available to assist you.

A named fund can be established with a minimum gift of $10,000, and endowments can be created with a minimum gift of $50,000. You can add to your fund over time.

Field of Interest Fund enables you to support a specific charitable cause you feel passionate about, for example children’s health, behavioral health, or women’s health.

Designated Fund allows you to name one or more local nonprofits you wish to support.

Unrestricted Fund allows ACHF to respond to the community’s greatest need. You entrust ACHF to assist effective nonprofits in meeting critical community health and wellness needs in Ashland, Talent, and Phoenix.

Endowments are a powerful investment in community health and wellness. Your named endowment can support a specific organization, field of interest or the community’s greatest need.

There are numerous opportunities to support health and wellness initiatives through the foundation. Our staff are available to speak with you about your interests, and we encourage you to review our current funding priorities.
