Field of Interest funds allow donors to specify a broad category for funding that is organized around a particular issue (e.g. animal welfare, arts & culture, basic human needs, and veterans services) or geographic area of interest. With a Field of Interest Fund, donors can rely on IECF to manage their giving to organizations working on the causes important to them through a competitive grant application process. This fund is ideal for those who wish to rely on IECF’s expertise to make grants in their charitable area of interest, and IECF takes care of the rest.
