Best for: Donors with a clear organization or cause in mind.

Field of interest funds allow you to direct giving toward a broad area you care about — such as arts, environment, youth, or human services — without naming a specific recipient. MMACF awards grants to organizations doing strong work within that area over time.

Best for: Donors who want flexibility within a specific cause area.

A donor advised fund lets you make a charitable contribution today and recommend grants to specific nonprofits on your own timeline. It's one of the most flexible giving tools available — and MMACF handles all the administrative work.

Best for: Donors who want an active role in their philanthropy.

Unrestricted funds give MMACF the flexibility to direct your generosity where it's needed most. As community needs evolve, so does the impact of your gift — making unrestricted funds one of the most adaptable and enduring ways to give.
