Funds can be started with a minimum of $5,000 and can be set up in one of the trust s 14 trustee banks or its corporate affiliate, Community Funds, Inc. They can also be set up to take advantage of a number of deferred giving options and to provide current tax benefits, as well as during a lifetime or by will.
