Endowment Gift

Pat and Shelly were recently married. They both had been dedicated volunteers at their favorite nonprofit for many years. They wanted to make certain the organization's programs continued even after they were gone.

  • Pat: "We appreciated the organization's work. We hoped to register our commitment and support by making a gift that would last well into the future."
  • Shelly: "A staff member at the organization asked us to consider making a gift to the endowment. We learned that the endowment was a fund that served as a permanent source of income for the organization's projects."
  • Pat: "I liked that giving to the endowment would help the organization continue its programs on an ongoing basis."
  • Shelly: "I also felt that the gift would provide a legacy for us. We were both thrilled that our gift would keep on giving to a cause we love."

The support of donors like Pat and Shelly makes our work possible. When you make an endowment gift, your gift is maintained in perpetuity and creates a lasting, meaningful difference. Please contact us to learn how to create your legacy through an endowment gift.
