Imagine your impact in our community with a donation of $50,000...
A $50,000 donation doesn’t just make a one-time impact—it grows and gives back to the community for generations. In the first year, a fund could grant $1,531. By year 5, that impact grows to $7,836. After 10 years, it could be $16,137. In 25 years, $44,114. And by year 50, a fund could grant over $100,000—more than double the original donation. This is the power of endowment: your generosity today creates a legacy of support for tomorrow.
