Establishing a fund at the San Antonio Area Foundation is an easy, effective way to invest in your community
Whatever your charitable interests, we have a Fund for you. Funds can be created in as little as one meeting, with a short fund agreement and a single gift. You can focus on specific organizations, issues or regions, or create a fund with a flexible purpose.
Think about what you’d like to support.
Choose the type of fund that meets your needs. We can help!
Name your fund, and we will create a personal fund agreement for you to sign.

Donor Advised Funds may offer donors a better solution than private foundations. Donor Advised Funds have fewer costs and regulations, while still providing donors sufficient direction to be effective tools for family wealth planning.
If the timing isn’t right to open your own fund, you can co-invest any amount in one of our Community Funds to join forces and maximize your impact in an area of your choice.
