This innovative program, designed to facilitate and encourage enhanced charitable giving, was the vision of Thomas F. Frist Jr., M.D., chairman and chief executive officer of HCA-Hospital Corporation of America. Twenty-one Donor-Advised Funds were established within The Community Foundation on behalf of senior executives leading HCA in the early ’90s. Participants in these Funds may ask that a portion of the proceeds be used to match charitable contributions they have already made to eligible 501(c)(3) organizations. Their recommendations for distributions are a valuable source of information to the board of The Community Foundation and are greatly appreciated.
