Personalized Endowment Fund Opportunities

How Do I Establish A Personalized Endowment Fund?

A Personalized Endowment Fund can be established with a gift of $10,000 or more. This can be done through an irrevocable gift of cash, stock, real estate, or several other giving options. In establishing a Personalized Endowment Fund, it is the donor's decision to determine the name of the Fund, as well as how the annual income will be distributed. Some suggestions as to high need areas are listed below. After a donor has made a gift to establish a Personalized Endowment Fund, a resolution is prepared for the next Board of Trustees meeting for formal approval of the name of the Fund and the designation of annual income.
