A Nonprofit Forever Fund is an endowment that allows your organization to have financial sustainability into the future. Funds are set aside and invested over time, creating a steady source of income that powers your mission – simply put – forever. Donors can give cash, stocks, bonds or complex donations, like real estate and planned gifts, into your Forever Fund, most of which check all the boxes for the maximum tax advantages under Nonprofit Forever Fund law.
Accumulate funds to replace or update your facility

Look, you can stay as a grassroots organization and do good work, but if you want to propel your organization to your vision, you have to take leaps of faith. That's what we did by establishing a Nonprofit Forever Fund, and it's been one of the best decisions I could have made for our nonprofit.

A Forever Fund shows that you are planning for the future of your nonprofit and are committed to serving the community. Many nonprofits even find having a structured endowment program attracts larger planned gifts. We’re here to help you make sure your nonprofit is around for the long run through careful investing and administration of your Nonprofit Forever Fund.
