Field of Interest (FOI) funds provides donors a unique opportunity who are perhaps passionate about a particular cause or program area, but also know that specific needs and organizations may change over time. Donors can support a general interest area such as Arts & Culture or get a bit more specific in wishing to support youth music or theater programs.
