Consider establishing a Builder's Fund. Builder’s Funds, like all endowment funds at the Harrison County Community Foundation (HCCF), begin with a special gift placed in a set-aside fund held by the Foundation. Gifts to Builder’s Funds are not designated for a specific purpose, allowing the HCCF Board of Directors to approve funds for the most pressing community needs as they arise, often alongside other grant funding. The minimum contribution to establish a Builder's Fund is $2,500.
