Donor FAQs

The Wichita Falls Area Community Foundation is like a charitable bank. The customers deposit/set up their fund, spend/advise where the money goes, and for some, save/endow the dollars. All these transactions are for charitable purposes only.

People who are considering a private foundation with less than $7,000,000 in assets could consider initiating a charitable fund at the Wichita Falls Area Community Foundation. In most instances, a fund is less expensive than costs associated with a private foundation, i.e. legal, accounting, reporting, administrative costs, etc.
