Organizational Endowment Funds

To hear more about how our nonprofit organizations have utilized The Columbus Foundation by opening an Organization Endowment fund.

With an increasing need for the services of nonprofit organizations and fewer sources of support, endowment building has become critically important. Organization endowment funds provide a safe, financially responsible outlet for protecting the economic future of a charity. More than 150 nonprofit organizations have created endowment funds through The Columbus Foundation.

This type of fund is created by the nonprofit organization as a means of protecting charitable dollars for the future of their work and their mission. This type of fund:

Protects an organization’s endowed monies to meet its future needs.
Demonstrates the organization’s security, stability and long-term financial planning.
Decreases the administrative work on the organizations staff.
Allows the organization to take advantage of planned giving and other technical assistance offered by The Columbus Foundation.
Allows you to utilize our Charitable Gift Annuity program for your donors.
