Infinity of Impact: Endowment

You can make a direct contribution or a planned gift, or both. A minimum initial gift of $25,000 in cash, appreciated securities, closely held stock, real estate or other real property is recommended for the Infinity of Impact Fund (you may start with a smaller amount and make plans to add to it over time).

What is an Endowment?

It is a fund made up of gifts and bequests that are subject to a requirement that the principal be maintained intact and invested to create a source of income for an organization. Donors may set up an endowment to fund a specific interest; and a nonprofit's governing body may set up an endowment. In any case, an endowment requires that the principal remain intact in perpetuity, or for a defined period of time or until sufficient assets have been accumulated to achieve a designated purpose.

Which is more important, Endowment Giving or Annual Giving?

We encourage continued support through annual giving and fundraisers while we also believe that our community invest beyond annual operating costs and fundraisers in order to grow an endowment. Endowment donations secure a perpetual impact so that there is a continuous flow of funds. Tax deductible donations to the endowment help the mission immediately and keeps earning while providing help for generations to come.
