Non-profit agencies and organizations use the Foundation for responsible, long-term management of their endowment funds. An organizational endowment is a permanent fund, which provides for an agency’s ongoing support. This type of fund can be established with an initial contribution of at least $5,000.

Organizational endowments offer many benefits:

The Foundation’s investment expertise saves time and effort for already overburdened staff and volunteers.



The Foundation assumes fiduciary duty and responsibility, relieving your board from the legal liability associated with financial management.



By combining funds for investment, our return is typically higher than those invested individually.



Your organization receives 4.5% of the fund value each year.



The endowment provides greater income as additions are made and the fund grows.



An endowment is an excellent way for donors to provide for your ongoing support.
