Organizational Endowment Funds

The Alamance Community Foundation provides a home for permanent funds established by other nonprofit organizations as a way of providing for their own long-term sustainability. Organizational Endowments return annual distributions to that organization while the principal has the opportunity to grow. Any nonprofit can enjoy the benefit of ACF’s investment policies and practices for funds set aside for long-term investment. Income from the endowment is one way to diversify revenue.

Endowments are at the heart of ACF’s mission to grow permanent assets in support of our community. That makes us a responsible choice for organizations that want to concentrate on their own missions. ACF has an impressive track record spanning over 30 years, making us a superb partner for organizations of any size. Because all funds are commingled for investment, ACF offers to every partnering organization excellent diversification of risk in a well-balanced portfolio of over $25 million. ACF’s professional team works closely with organizations to establish a fund that achieves the organization’s needs for today and into the future.
