Northwest Arkansas Community Foundation (NWACF) awarded $2,813,802 in 341 grants to local agencies since its first year of operation. NWACF fulfills a unique role by providing a home for hundreds of donors, both living and deceased, to take advantage of this tax-favored way to enhance their charitable giving. Gifts can be made to existing funds or you may establish a fund of your own.

Establishing a charitable fund with the Community Foundation couldn't be simpler. Donors may choose from a variety of fund possibilities.

The Community Foundation welcomes contributions and bequests of all sizes. Gifts can be made during one's lifetime, or as a bequest.

The Foundation offers numerous benefits to the donor including perpetuity, maximum tax advantages, flexibility, and professional money management.

The community funders listed under List of Current Funds have shown the ability (or potential) to address creatively and effectively an array of pressing concerns and complex issues facing their communities. They are valuable community resources that enrich all of our lives and we salute them for their dedicated work.
