WHAT IS AN ENDOWMENT?
Earnings from an endowment are used to make grants addressing Humboldt County needs. Your gift, and all future earnings from your gift, are a permanent source of community capital, helping do good work today and in the future.
LEGACY & STABILITY
Donors who endow their gifts can make a difference in our community during their lifetime and gives back forever.
If you establish a donor advised fund, grants will continue to be made in the name of the fund you establish so that your charitable wishes are preserved.
Leaders of non-profit organizations in the county can look to our community foundation to hold their organization’s endowment. This may help them sustain good investment management and plan for the future.
“When donors or non-profit organizations work through the Humboldt County Community Foundation to achieve their charitable goals, they benefit from the expertise of experienced local, community leadership and the expert staff of the Greater Des Moines Community Foundation.”
