Pathway Plans
In 2001, the Montgomery County Community Foundation established a new way in which named funds could be started. A Pathway Plan is a planned giving agreement that allows you to build a named fund over five years. In the past, an upfront minimum gift of $5,000 ($10,000 for a scholarship fund) was required to establish a fund. With the Pathway Plan, you now can establish the fund immediately with less than $5,000 and add to it over five years.
