Individuals

At the Burlington Community Foundation, we manage more than 130 funds that are dedicated to supporting charitable work and education in our local community and beyond.

Our funds are dedicated to supporting vital needs such as a food security, animal welfare, seniors’ well-being, child and youth development, the arts, and more.

By generously donating to a specific fund, you are helping build a resource that will generate income for years to come and help ensure that initiatives you care about are supported and can continue to thrive.

Our team would be happy to discuss how our funds can help you and your family meet your legacy planning and generosity goals. 

Some options include:

• Donating to a BCF Cause Fund, such as the Housing Support Fund, the Mental Wellness Fund, and BCF’s Sustainability Fund.
• Creating a fund with BCF so you can ensure your gifts support your chosen area of impact.
• Planning a legacy gift to the Foundation, in which you can support an area or charity of your choosing, or entrust the long-standing acuity of the Foundation to manage those decisions for you.

Giving through the Burlington Community Foundation can allow you to simplify your giving, while joining a professionally managed investment pool. 

We can help support granting from your personal or family Fund and suggest opportunities where you can have a direct and meaningful impact in the community.
