For Donors Who Have Established a Fund

The Kalamazoo Community Foundation is immensely appreciative of you, our donors. For without your continued generosity, we would not be able to address the needs of the greater Kalamazoo community.

As your partner in philanthropy, we understand that individual donors have individual needs, and will work with you to meet your charitable goals.

Keeping you informed about the fund you have established at the Community Foundation is a priority for us. The three ways we provide you with information are:

Donor Central
Donor Central is a secure, password protected online tool that enables you to:

  Track activity related to the fund you have established at the
    Kalamazoo Community Foundation. You can view financial
    information such as the fund's balance and gift history.
  Suggest grants from the fund. In just a few clicks, donor advisors can
    suggest a grant to the charities they choose.

Partners in Philanthropy
Through its Partners in Philanthropy publication, the Kalamazoo  Community Foundation on a quarterly basis provides Advised Fund representatives with a special list of funding opportunities. It's a way to make a difference and to learn about community needs and the nonprofits addressing them.

Quarterly Fund Statements
A personalized quarterly fund statement is mailed to you after the end of each quarter. This provides updated financial information including the investment performance of the the fund you have established.
