Wilt describes the Bartlesville Community Foundation as a community foundation is the gift that keeps on giving. The BCF houses endowed funds.Each dollar you give is invested and the returns on those investments go to the charitable causes you choose.

 

He explained that when you make a donation to an existing fund at the foundation or create a fund of your own, that money joins all the other funds and is invested to create annual income for the causes and charities that matter to you. He added that the best thing is that over the years funds grow to provide even more support. Because everyone’s funds work together, you can accomplish more good at a lower cost.
