Today and Tomorrow Fund
Fueling the daily work that powers long-term impact
The Today & Tomorrow Fund sustains the day-to-day operations of the Morton Community Foundation. Gifts to this fund keep our small, efficient team working on what matters most—serving donors, awarding grants, stewarding investments, and supporting the many charitable funds that strengthen Morton.
Why this fund matters
Management fees from endowed funds cover only part of our operating costs. Support for this non-endowed fund ensures we can:
• Help donors create and manage scholarships, nonprofit endowments, field-of-interest funds, and donor-advised funds
• Provide careful stewardship, investment oversight, and transparent reporting
• Run competitive and responsive grantmaking that meets community needs
• Offer high-quality service while keeping overall costs low
Your gift is an investment in the Foundation’s capacity today—so we can grow community impact for tomorrow.
