The Power of Endowment

There are numerous was to go about meeting your charitable goals. We happen to think donating to endowment is the best way to launch your charitable giving with greatest impact for the betterment of our community.

Just as Albert Einstein once called compound interest the most powerful force in the universe, endowments carry an inherent power to provide for community needs in perpetuity through continued growth. Over time, the amount granted exceeds the original contributions to the fund, while the original gift remains intact. In fact, thanks to responsible investing, the fund balance continues to increase over time. There is no better way to serve your community both now and long after your grandchildren’s grandchildren are grown.
