Start Your Own Fund Starting a charitable fund at ECCF is fast and easy. Your options include several types of funds, and there are many different ways to contribute tax-wise gifts. Our professional staff is here to help. The Personalize Your Fund form below can help us prepare a customized draft fund agreement for you (or your client) to review. Once we receive this information, one of our staff members will contact you to set up a time to discuss your charitable plans. If you can't complete the form in one sitting, you can use the "Save and Continue Later" button at the bottom of the form. ECCF staff members don't have access to forms that have been saved but not submitted, so please record the automatically generated link and/or have the link sent to your email address. The saved form will be available for 30 days. If you prefer not to complete an online form, you can print out the PDF and fill it out at your leisure. You can also email ECCF Executive Director Sue Bornick or call her at (715) 552-3801. She would be happy to meet with you at your convenience.
