It’s difficult to find time to pause and plan for growth and sustainability when you’re addressing immediate needs. An endowment fund can fuel innovation and long-term growth for your organization’s cause. More than just a safety net, endowments offer a permanent solution that allows you to focus on your organization’s mission and give your current and future supporters peace of mind. Learn the importance of an endowment fund and how it can pay more than just financial dividends to your organization. Hear from Becky Davis, as well as first-hand experiences from two local nonprofit organizations that have benefited from having endowment funds.
