What Makes a Community Foundation Permanent
When people think about charitable giving, they often think in moments—responding to an immediate need or supporting a cause they care about today. While these moments matter, communities are strengthened most by decisions designed to endure.
Meet the Moment Returns for 2026
We are once again inviting the community to come together to support nonprofits serving Benton and Franklin counties. An anonymous donor has issued a matching challenge to help raise $75,000 through September 30.
We Love Our Community
What Our Community Loves About Us
A valuable resource and tool.
I have found the 3 Rivers Community Foundation to be a valuable resource and tool in making my annual charitable Required Minimum Distribution. The Foundation allows me to make one contribution that not only supports 3RCF and its great work, but also coordinates distributions to my other charities with only one tax reporting document. I encourage you to support 3RCF financially and recommend that you make use of the many services the helpful staff can provide.
It’s easy, and best of all, it’s forever.
I encourage everyone to learn more about 3RCF and consider establishing their own personal legacy – it’s easy, and best of all, it’s forever.
Our money is being directed to local needs.
Our fund at 3RCF means that our money is being directed to local needs, with low overhead. We know the funds are being well used and that 3RCF is taking seriously their fiduciary responsibilities. There is great need, and one person can’t do it all – 3 Rivers is our go-to place with trust.
3RCF has earned our trust.
We work very hard for our money, and we don’t want it wasted. To be able to watch what you donated grow and improve live in our community is deeply satisfying. 3RCF has earned our trust.
Truly a forever gift.
A community foundation is the easiest and most reliable way of meeting charitable estate planning goals. Goals can be met and gifts can be spread forever, instead of a single gift. Truly a forever gift.
I have total confidence in their process.
3RCF is extremely cautious and responsible in selecting and awarding each and every grant. I have total confidence in their process.
We are thrilled to grow the WHWFTC endowment with 3RCF
We are thrilled to grow the WHWFTC endowment with 3RCF. The legacy it is creating for the future of our organization and the agencies we support is immeasurable.
Ability to contribute to the charities I favored.
I was pleased to be able to set up a donor-advised endowment with 3RCF as a memorial to my husband, to be able to contribute to the charities I favored, and to leave a trust that was earning for charity after I am no longer here.
