Many Ways to Invest in your community
– For Now, For the Future
The Dripping Springs Community Foundation is an extremely easy way for donors to give back, to have a positive impact on society and make a difference in the lives of neighbors. Donors may choose to invest in many different ways.
We don’t believe in making it difficult to give – nor do we have all the answers. But we are happy to start conversations and work to find optimum solutions for you.

Give - For Now
Create a Donor-Advised Fund
By choosing to create a D-AF, donors can request that the Foundation issue grants and gifts to organizations they wish to assist.
The donor will receive a tax deduction in the year in which the D-AF is established, and can then gift out funds to nonprofits. (DSCF does the due diligence in determining eligibility of the nonprofits, handles the paperwork and issues the grants). Funds are invested in a long-term managed fund. A minimum of $10,000 is required to establish a Donor-Advised Fund. Please contact us for assistance.
Give to the DS Cares Fund
The DS Cares Fund has been established to accept donations of all sizes, and will be used to respond to community emergencies or to projects that benefit the greater community.
These gifts can be made by check or credit card through Paypal. (See Donate button). Checks can be mailed to DSCF, PO Box 1684, Dripping Springs, TX 78620. All gifts will be acknowledged.
Create a Scholarship Fund
Donors may wish to select a local resident to receive funding assistance for college or trade school.
The minimum to establish a scholarship is $25,000, which would permit $1,000 to be expended from the fund each year. The donor(s) must create a scholarship committee outside of the Foundation, establish criteria and make an annual selection of recipient(s).
Help The Foundation In It's Work
Unrestricted gifts may be made to assist The Foundation in it's operations and educational programs.

Include DSCF in your Estate Planning
You can include a gift to the Foundation or any of its funds as part of your estate plan. Proceeds will be used by DSCF for grants at its discretion or may be earmarked for nonprofits organizations of your choice. Leaving a percentage of your estate or designating the Foundation as a recipient of a life insurance policy are often the easiest ways to plan. The Foundation can also accept gifts of stock, real estate, vehicles in good condition or other valuable assets.
Increase Our Endowment
Or establish your own in perpetuity. As the community grows, there will always be unmet needs and opportunities. Funds can be earmarked for an organization, a certain area of interest or kept unrestricted to respond to community need.
