Endowment Funds: A Major Gift Option


When a client has a favorite nonprofit they want to support with a major gift, creating an organization endowment fund for the nonprofit, or contributing to its existing fund, is a sound way to ensure the nonprofit will always have the resources it needs.

Organization endowment funds provide income to the nonprofit in perpetuity. Fund assets are invested separately from the organization's operating funds, providing security against economic hardships or other financial challenges.

We handle all administrative and investment responsibilities, freeing the organization to pursue its charitable mission.
