Details:
In 2019, the Baldwin family decided to dissolve their family’s private foundation, the Theodore G. Baldwin Foundation, and chose the Kearney Area Community Foundation (KACF) to manage its assets due to its longstanding ability to manage philanthropic efforts. With that, the Ted Baldwin Donor Advised Fund was established, and by creating this donor advised fund the Baldwins have shifted the management, reporting, and oversight to KACF.
Eligibility Criteria
The Ted Baldwin Donor Advised Fund typically funds projects or programs in the Kearney area and
surrounding communities. Grants are made to nonprofit, federally tax exempt 501(c)(3) qualified
organizations, or organizations delivering a project or program which has a fiscal relationship with a
qualified nonprofit.
Limitations
As a general practice, the TBDAF refrains from funding:
- Agencies serving a populace outside of the KACF’s service area
- Annual fund drives, galas, or other special-event fundraising activities
- Debt reduction
- Dissertations or student/faculty research projects
- Emergency or disaster relief efforts
- Indirect/administrative costs
- Institutions that discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender, mental, emotional or physical ability/disability, national origin, or age in policy or in practice
- Loans, fellowships, or grants to individuals
- Political lobbying, or legislative activities
- Profit making enterprises (unless allowed by Federal Treasury Regulations)
- Travel, tours or trips, including honor conferences, expanded studies
- Umbrella organizations that would re-distribute the requested funds at their discretion
- Recipient organizations redistributing or transferring any portion of the grant to other nonprofit organizations. The awarded grant funds are intended solely for the recipient organization’s use
