Many individuals, families, and organizations have created different types of funds at the Community Foundation. Some funds support specific organizations, some support specific causes, some are created in memory or to honor someone, and some support the work of the Community Foundation. You can contribute to any fund, including your own. Contributions may be made online or by sending a check to Rochester Area Community Foundation, 500 East Avenue, Rochester, NY 14607-1912.
