Sustaining the Grand Foundation
The Groswold Endowment Fund was the wish of our Founder, Jerry Groswold. His desire for this fund was to continue the tradition of the Grand Foundation by investing in our community and its nonprofits. This can ensure future sustainability of the Grand Foundation and our commitment of investment.
Our Goal: In 2016, Jerry Groswold left a matching challenge bequest of $250,000 to support an Endowment Fund. Our goal was to raise a minimum of $250,000 as matching monies to sustain the Grand Foundation for future generations. We raised $750,000, giving our endowment balance $1 million. We will continue to build this fund so that we can continue and hopefully exceed the level of support the foundation gives back to the community.

Make a Donation — Support Charities — Grow the Balance
When you give, you want your charitable contributions to be as effective as possible. When you donate to your donor-advised fund, you're making a tax-deductible donation to the organization sponsoring the fund, but because your account is a donor-advised fund, you advise the organization on how to grant the money out to your favorite charities. Your donation is also invested based on your preferences, so it has the potential to grow, tax-free, while you're deciding which charities to support.
