Permanent Endowment Funds - Designated Endowment

A Designated Fund may be established by a donor or organization to benefit one or more specific charities.

Individuals, families, and businesses may be particularly interested in a Designated Endowment when they:

• Wish to create a separate, named endowment fund to support one or more charities,
  a secondary charity to receive support if the named charity ceases to exist or is no longer a qualified charity;
  
• Want to assure the contribution remains local to benefit other specified or similar charities instead of forfeiting the contributed funds to a hierarchical entity if the specified organization ceases to exist;
  
• Want the continued commitment of the board and staff of the Foundation to assure their funds are used by the specified charity as they originally intended and to provide counsel to the charity when needed.
  
• Want to maximize the perpetual support of one or more specific charities through the Foundation’s historic earnings and growth of endowments with low administrative costs.
