Organization Endowments

These endowments are established by organizations to ensure a permanent source of support for the organization in perpetuity.

Organizations endowments are created at The Foundation for a variety of reasons including The Foundation's investment performance which consistently ranks among the top tier of community foundations. Top performance and lower management fees result in more money for the local non-profits serving the community.  To establish an organization endowment, contact Angel Fernandez-Chavero, senior philanthropic officer, at afernandez@cfgnh.org or call 203.777.7072.
