ENDOWMENT -- THE FUTURE

ENDOWMENT -- THE FUTURE OF YOUR ORGANIZATION

We believe that all organizations should be thinking near or long term future without plans for beginning or augmenting their existing unrestricted or restricted endowment fund.

Our consulting practice over the last decade has seen a sea change among significant donors -- to endow the programs in perpetuity. Twenty years ago different priorities may have existed. Today’s donor understands that it is the programs and services – what happens inside the walls of the institution that excite and inspire them and their families. They seem most interested in endowing specific programs, services, and professional positions.

Our records over the last decade show your constituents understand endowment and when asked in an uplifting way – are quite responsive. Endowing a program, service or a professional "chair" can be one of the most significant acts of a lifetime. After all – your donors are doing the very same things amongst all their philanthropic priorities – why should they not be considering you?
