Fresno Regional Foundation

Unrestricted funds

Fund for the Common Good

The Fund for the Common Good provides an opportunity for everyone in our community to address a broad range of local needs that affect our quality of life. When you give to this fund, you give Fresno Regional Foundation’s board of directors and our experienced professional staff the discretion to determine the best funding opportunities based on the most compelling and urgent needs of our community.

Meeting ever-changing community needs

Unrestricted funds help the Foundation support long-term solutions; respond quickly to emergencies; and meet changing social, cultural, educational, or environmental needs throughout the San Joaquin Valley. Grants are made in the name of the fund you establish, creating your personal legacy of giving. You may give your gift immediately or through your will or other estate planning strategy. If you endow your gift, it becomes a permanent community funding resource.

Should you give undeveloped real estate or highly appreciated securities? Cash or retirement assets? We’re always happy to discuss the most tax-efficient, cost-effective gift options.
