Funds

The Brookline Community Foundation offers donors effective ways to give.  In addition to unrestricted funds – gifts in which you trust BCF to put your money to work where the need is greatest – BCF donors have created Named Funds, Donor Advised Funds, Designated Funds, and Field of Interest Funds. When your donation is pooled with hundreds of other donations, large and small, collectively we make a powerful impact in the community.

In 2009, the Brookline Community Foundation gave $689, 136 back to the community.
