The Pine Knot Fund
The Pine Knot Fund is Kindling Historic Preservation Efforts
A generous area couple celebrated New Year 2020 by establishing the Pine Knot Fund of The Community Foundation.
The donor advised fund creates a new charitable resource for area historic and cultural preservation to include historic properties, public and historic gardens and landscape enhancement. The fund’s anonymous donors also hope to contribute to animal welfare efforts, as well as arts and economic revitalization projects in downtown Fredericksburg over the life of the fund.
Pine knots historically were (and still are) used as kindling because flammable pine resin is concentrated in the knot of the tree. Perhaps this new fund will ignite an interest in more charitable giving in our region for historic preservation!

About Donor Advised Funds
Donor Advised Funds provide a simple, powerful and very personal approach to giving.
Donor Advised Funds are very flexible, both in purpose and through time, allowing your goals to evolve.
When you establish a Donor Advised Fund, you may recommend charities to support at any time during the year, or you may request support from foundation staff to identify the best ways to make a difference in the causes you care about most.
