Endowment development can propel struggling agencies to increase their capacity, raise the level of donor participation, and enable an annual source of support. Endowments provide a revenue source that is dependable for a sustainable future.
About Permanent Endowment Funds
Why consider an endowment fund for long-term impact?
Nonprofit organizations and individuals can establish an endowment fund at Whitefish Community Foundation to help build essential program funding and long-term sustainable funding for a nonprofit.
Who can create an endowment and what does it support?
Families, individuals, and corporations can open Permanent Endowments to benefit causes they care about. Endowments are designed to provide a source of funding for a nonprofit in perpetuity. Whitefish Community Foundation’s spending policy establishes the amount the fund can distribute each year.
How can I make a gift to an endowment fund?
Donations to a nonprofit endowment fund can be made with cash, check, appreciated securities, and from an IRA distribution. Donors can also take advantage of the Montana Endowment Tax Credit when making a gift to an endowment. Call President/CEO Alan Davis at (406) 863-1781 to learn more about the Montana Endowment Tax Credit and how it works.
