An endowment is a forever gift - a fund you establish in which the principal is invested and all or part of the earnings are used to help the programs and goals you want to support. Because the principal isn’t typically spent, endowments are intended to essentially last forever.
If you typically make cash donations, see what size of endowment is needed to make your gift last into perpetuity.

If your annual gift is:
$100 - Perpetuate it by giving $2,500
$250 - Perpetuate it by giving $6,250
$500 - Perpetuate it by giving $12,500
$1,000 - Perpetuate it by giving $25,000
$2,500 - Perpetuate it by giving $62,500
$5,000 - Perpetuate it by giving $125,000
Endowment Options
When creating an endowment, consider these two options:
1. An unrestricted fund. If you make a gift without restrictions to an endowment, our leadership will direct the funds to our most critical needs.
2. A designated fund. You may determine in advance what programs or services you want your donation to support. The specific details will be incorporated into a written description of the endowment, which must be approved by you and Casa Pacifica.
Regardless of what type of endowment you establish, the satisfaction associated with charitable giving is immense. One easy way to fund an endowment is by remembering Casa Pacifica in your estate plans.
