Creating a Fund
Once you have decided to partner with the Austin Community Foundation to help you attain your philanthropic goals (read more about why you should choose ACF), the process of setting up a fund is quite easy.
A member of the Foundation staff will meet with you to review your philanthropic goals and suggest fund options. After you have determined the right fund for you, the Foundation will set up your fund, often in less than an hour. More importantly, it will be just as easy to manage your fund in the future.
