National Philanthropic Trust has created four (4) field of interest funds that can receive direct contributions from an individual retirement account (IRA) as well as gifts of cash, appreciated securities and other assets.

• Back in Action Fund
• Children in Crisis Fund
• The globalislocal Partnership Fund^sm
• NPT Breast Cancer Fund

By leveraging the charitable contributions of many donors NPT will support creative and effective organizations identified by our grantmaking professionals and leading experts to address critical needs in our communities. 

How to Contribute

• To make a contribution of cash, appreciated securities, and other assets, simply download and print our Field of Interest Fund Contribution form.
• To make a contribution from your IRA, please download and print our IRA Charitable Rollover Kit.

Grantmaking Decisions

All grantmaking and investment decisions from the field of interest funds will be determined by the NPT Board of Trustees.  Unlike donor advised funds, donors are not permitted to recommend grants from field of interest funds.  This important difference between donor advised funds and field of interest funds is what permits tax free qualified IRA distributions to be received. 

Progress Reports

Information on achievements from the field of interest funds and the impact of your contributions will be reported regularly on the NPT website and in our Annual Report.
