Designated Funds

Those who wish to support specific agencies or causes in perpetuity establish designated funds.  If the original charity ceases to exist, becomes obsolete or is unable to perform their charitable purposes, our Board of Trustees is able to redirect the funds to an organization providing similar services without the cost of expensive legal action.
