Endowment

If you wish to make a gift that keeps on giving (and growing!), consider making a gift to our endowment fund.

Our general endowment fund is our permanent savings account—the financial bedrock of our financial stability. Permanently invested principal and assured annual income means that we can deliver better services today—and more services tomorrow. A healthy, growing endowment frees us from complete dependence on fluctuating annual revenues, and gives us confidence to face the challenges and opportunities the future will bring.

However, some of our supporters prefer to involve their whole family in their philanthropy, and establish their own endowed family fund to help us further our mission. You or your family members can be engaged in the entire process of establishing the fund, such as determining what area of our mission the fund’s income benefits, and what percentage of that income is reinvested. Some family members then make continuing gifts to the endowment to honor special occasions, achievements, and milestones.

Endowment gifts are a powerful tool to help us continue our mission for generations to come—and a transformational way to shape your family’s legacy.
