The Power of Endowment

Your charitable plan made permanent

What if your investment could provide for community needs not just in your lifetime, but forever? Endowed funds can. Endowments are permanent funds where the principal is invested, while a portion of the fund is distributed annually to your philanthropic causes–continuing your rich tradition of charitable giving always. Define your legacy today.

The power of an endowment is in its continuity. Your gift is preserved in perpetuity, with the funds pooled for maximum benefit and invested to achieve long-term capital growth. Endowed gifts become a part of Placer Community Foundation’s permanent endowment, meaning they will benefit our community forever.

• Provide dependable, perpetual income to your chosen cause or nonprofit – be it the arts, youth development, animal welfare or whatever cause you love.
• Carry on your family’s name – and legacy – forever.
• Allow successive generations to continue family giving traditions.

Endowments offer magnificent benefits to your favorite nonprofits: Depending on their size, an endowment could mean the difference between vitality and bankruptcy, or creativity and complacency.
