Endowment Fund Programs
Donors can choose structured gifts to be made after their lifetimes, and take advantage of financial and tax benefits. The principal of a gift to the Endowment Fund is never spent, so a portion of the earnings will always be available for Foundation programs.
This program is to:
- Inform Rotarians of planned giving opportunities.
- Work with club presidents to recognise current Benefactors and Bequest Society members.
- Coordinate the identification of and reaching out to potential donors in support of the Endowment.
- Nurture relationships with Benefactors and Bequest Society members.
