An affiliate can be established with a $25,000 minimum field of interest fund. It represents one community and is led by an advisory committee of residents from that community. The affiliate fund is charged with carrying out the mission of the Foundation.
If you have any questions about establishing an affiliate foundation or any other related topic, please contact Rebecca Byrne.
