A copy of those documents is available immediately upon request. Donors to the Fund may not impose any material restriction or condition that prevents the Community Foundation from freely and effectively employing the contributed assets, or the income derived therefrom, in furtherance of its charitable purposes.

In accordance with the rights reserved to Donor pursuant to Article VIII of the Bylaws of the Community Foundation, Donor recommends that the Fund not be restricted to any particular field or charitable purpose. However, Donor may set forth on Schedules B and C hereto attached specific recommendations for the administration of the Fund, including its intended charitable purposes, and appropriate geographical limitations.

Should the Fund's purpose, as outlined in Schedule C, become unnecessary, incapable of fulfillment, or inconsistent with the charitable needs of the community, Community Foundation may exercise its variance power under Article VIII of its Bylaws. The exercise of such power shall not be effective earlier than at least thirty (30) days after Community Foundation notifies any current fund advisors in writing of its intent to exercise such power and the manner in which Community Foundation proposes to vary the purposes, uses or methods of administering the Fund.
