Family Endowments

A Family Endowment is like any other endowment – the main difference is that it is funded by a single family and the endowment often bears that family’s name. The donor may select one or multiple institutions as the recipients, create a scholarship, or accept applications to fund programs in a specific area of work. An endowment provides permanent support for organizations and/or areas of work.
