Types of Endowment Funds


A donor may make a gift of ANY size to the foundation for the community's benefit.  You may wish to specify certain organizations to receive your gift or certain areas of interest, such as education, youth, or the arts.  Or you may let the Foundation decide--this enables a response to needs as they arise and change.

Any of the types of funds listed below may be established as a permanent named fund to commemorate a family, a person, or an organization.

All of our endowment funds are invested together, but separated for bookkeeping purposes.  The earned income from the investments is used for grantmaking.
