A nonprofit endowment fund is a simple way for your nonprofit to plan for a stable and secure future. Your donors can be sure that the endowed fund’s principle will not be spent and can grow over time, providing a source of lasting support. Galesburg Community Foundation’s economies of scale provide your organization with the benefits of a diverse investment portfolio with low investment fees that typically come only with very large funds.
Your nonprofit’s regular donors can leave a bequest through the Community Foundation to benefit your organization forever and create a personal legacy. The Community Foundation can even facilitate the most complex planned gifts or gifts of appreciated stock or real estate. We handle investment management and administrative responsibilities related to endowment so that your organization’s staff and volunteer hours are concentrated on fulfilling your mission.
“We didn’t have the people with the expertise, the time, or the commitment to oversee the endowment. To have a professional team to safeguard funds as we do now, we can be comfortable knowing those funds are secure and will be intelligently invested.”
– Dr. Steve Buban, former United Way of Greater Warren County Board of Directors
