It is not just a gift…
It is a statement of faith, love and stewardship
An endowment fund is a long-term, invested pool of charitable assets whose principal is preserved. Only the earnings, not the gift itself, are used to support the mission year after year. Think of it this way: when you plant a fruit tree, you don’t cut it down after the first harvest. You tend it, protect it, and let it produce season after season. An endowment fund works the same way. The gift you make today becomes a living, working asset, one that generates reliable income while the original contribution remains intact and grows over time.
Only a portion of Legacy Gifts are used each year, allowing the remainder to continue serving for decades.
The Neighbors Helping Neighbors Legacy Fund provides long-term stability for food and clothing while ensuring future generations receive help with dignity. Your gift is not just financial. It is a declaration that says:
“I believe in this mission so completely that I want it to outlast me.”
It is an act of faith in the future, and an expression of love for the neighbors who will need help long after any of us are here to give it directly.
