Field of Interest Funds
Field of Interest (FOI) funds benefit a broad charitable category, such as education, the environment, or the arts, rather than naming a specific charitable organization. These funds are held by Taos Community Foundation and are directed through grant application cycles or initiatives, often under the guidance of an Advisory Committee. If you have a cause you’re passionate about supporting, donating to a field of interest fund may be a perfect way to fulfill your philanthropic goals.
