Donate easily and securely online to any of the following eligible Community Impact funds to triple your gift’s impact today!

Is a Community Impact fund a good fit for me?
Many donors who want to leave a lasting legacy choose to establish a Community Impact fund. These donors are passionate about giving back to Putnam County and ensuring they leave a mark of their own on future generations. Their generous gifts are invested alongside other Community Impact funds, and their earnings fuel PCCF’s grants programs. Donors who establish a Community Impact fund may choose to continue to give to their fund throughout their lifetime or create a planned gift as part of their estate.
During the GIFT IX matching grant period, the minimum gift to open a new Community Impact fund is $5,000 (usually $12,500). The initial gift can come in the form of cash, stocks or other investments, qualified minimum distribution from your IRA, or the sale proceeds of real estate or grain. One or more individuals or families may establish a fund together to reach the minimum gift amount.
To establish a new Community Impact fund, please contact Neysa Meyer.
