WHAT IS AN ENDOWMENT?

Endowment is a Fund that is forever. Once established, the principal amount is invested, then provides an annual distribution that can either be kept in the Fund or used as a predictable source of annual income. In short, endowment is a pathway to a secure financial future for your nonprofit.
