III. Designated Agency Funds
Individuals and organizations wishing to create a fund for the benefit of a specific nonprofit organization or program can create a designated agency fund.

In the event the designated organization ceases to exist, becomes obsolete, or is unable to perform its charitable purposes, monies from the fund can be redirected to an organization which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Foundation, best perpetuates the donor’s original intent.
