Now & Later Generosity

Now and Later Funds are an innovation of the Community Foundation of Greater Huntsville that blend current-year grantmaking with long-term endowed impact. For many donors, that blend makes this investment the perfect charitable gift.

One-half of all donations support current year grantmaking and one-half fuel an endowment that is an investment in our community’s future. These funds leverage the power of connection as donors join together in generosity to fund strategic initiatives in areas they care about passionately. Our community has proven that there is no challenge too great when we work together to solve it. The same holds true for our generosity. Our donors are investing today for the community they want to see tomorrow.

The Now and Later Funds managed by the Community Foundation each address specific issues and appeal to unique areas of interest for our donors.
