Hi Patty, This is a pretty broad question. If we as a foundation send out a grant proposal we establish a fund for a specific initiative. If we receive a "grant" from Fidelity or another charitable gift fund from a donor who has an advised fund with us we add the grant to their fund or as they...

Debra, If you need separate projects in FE, I believe you are going to need separate funds in RE. RE funds = FE projects. It would be nice if you could group them under 4 different funds for your different programs. You could then have each grant set up as an appeal. I'd talk to your accounting office...
