An endowment fund is a named fund that is part of the One More Child endowment.
You can set up an endowment fund in the name of your business, family name or other entity.
The One More Child Endowment is one of the most reliable and lasting sources of support for our mission. Gifts to the endowment are permanently invested, with annual returns providing ongoing funding to care for children and families in need.
Endowments provide a powerful way to ensure consistent resources today while building a legacy of care for generations to come.
Establish an endowment fund to honor someone special.
Gifts to your endowment fund are a great way to honor someone special or to mark the memory of a special occasion. For example, you can make a gift to honor the memory of a loved one who has passed away or honor a special occasion such as a wedding, anniversary, birthday or holiday.
The strength of an endowment is its permanence.
An endowment fund is permanently fixed to the One More Child endowment fund, which means that your endowment fund also continues into perpetuity.
Involve your children and other family members so that together you can make a difference.
How does the One More Child endowment work?
The One More Child endowment funds are invested conservatively and allocated diversely among a variety of investment vehicles designed to preserve capital and at the same time generate earnings for the One More Child ministry.
Funds are appropriated from the endowment and its earnings on an annual basis to provide for the needs of abused, neglected and orphaned children.
The appropriation is based upon a fixed percent as approved by the Board of Trustees’ Investment Policy, which is designed to preserve the endowment in perpetuity.
What amount is needed to start a named endowment fund?
A named endowment fund may be established with a commitment of $50,000 or more. This can be completed through a single gift or through contributions totaling $50,000 or more over a 3–5 year period.
