Organizational Funds at The Idaho Community Foundation are a fantastic way to ensure your nonprofit thrives now and in the future. These funds come in two types: endowed and non-endowed, each tailored to meet your unique needs.
Endowed Funds: A Lasting Legacy
Endowed funds are like a forever gift for your organization. They're invested for the long term, creating a steady income stream that supports your operations, programs, or any other needs your board of directors identifies. Since these funds are permanent, they'll benefit your organization for generations to come. Each year, a small percentage is granted to your organization, ensuring ongoing support.
Key benefits:
- Investments grow over time, increasing the fund's value.
- Donors can contribute any amount at any time, and their gifts may be eligible for tax deductions. Plus, we handle all the receipts.
- We're committed to your success, so we charge a low management fee of just 0.5%, plus a share of investment costs.
To get started with an endowed fund, you'll need a minimum of $50,000.
Non-Endowed Funds: Flexible and Immediate Support
Non-endowed funds offer flexibility for immediate needs. These funds are invested for a shorter term and can be fully spent whenever you need them, supporting your operations, programs, or other priorities set by your board. While not permanent, they provide essential support right when you need it.
Key benefits:
- Quick access to funds for urgent or short-term needs.
- We manage these funds with a 1% fee, plus a share of investment costs.
Starting a non-endowed fund requires a minimum of $25,000.
