Endowment Power. Local Impact.
Build a Stronger Future with an Endowment Fund
A nonprofit endowed fund—sometimes called an “agency fund”—is a fund created by a nonprofit at the St. Croix Valley Foundation to provide a dependable source of annual revenue.
It’s endowed because the principal is invested for long-term growth, while a portion is distributed annually to support your mission.
At the St. Croix Valley Foundation, we help nonprofits throughout the Valley establish agency endowed funds that offer dependable annual support, donor confidence, and long-term sustainability. Establishing a nonprofit endowed fund shows donors and your community that your organization is planning for the future—and here to stay.
