Lighting the way to grow endowment funds

Whether you’ve talked with them about it or not, many of your fund holders are intrigued by the possibility of establishing an endowment fund to create a permanent source of philanthropic support for the community they love. Many fund holders, though, are hesitant to explore setting up an endowment fund because they assume the process will be difficult or daunting.

In this month’s cut-and-paste donor and fund holder newsletter content, we’re including material you can use to spread the word about endowment funds among your fund holders and prospective fund holders. You want to let them know that setting up an endowment fund can be easy—and highly rewarding. Fund holders need to know that the community foundation makes it a breeze to structure an endowment as a gift to improve the quality of life for future generations.

At Embolden, our goal is to make it a breeze for community foundation professionals to create newsletters, social posts, website material, and printed communications. If you’re not yet one of Embolden’s nearly 200 community foundation clients who never have to start writing from scratch again, please reach out! We would love to work with you!
