Asian-Indian Community Fund

The Asian-Indian Community Fund (AICF) of The Dayton Foundation serves as an umbrella to charitable funds that facilitate the giving interests of Greater Dayton's Asian-Indian community. The Foundation’s charitable-giving expertise can help enhance your family's culture of philanthropy, while providing a lasting legacy for future generations.

AICF offers Asian-Indians an opportunity to establish individual, named funds that, when positioned together under AICF, make a larger philanthropic impact in the Greater Dayton region. Each fund within AICF is independent, allowing you to recommend how contributions to your fund are distributed.

Through AICF and the marketing efforts of The Dayton Foundation, you also have an opportunity to receive greater recognition for your charitable contributions, or you may choose to remain anonymous. The Foundation regularly shares the stories of its donors and the impact of their funds in Foundation publications, website and other media.
