Endowment Fund
Eaton Rapids Community Alliance has established an endowment fund at the Community Foundation. Gifts to this endowment fund support a safe place where teens can learn, get tutoring, volunteer, and connect with positive adults and peers, helping them grow into engaged members of their families, schools, and community.
Having an endowment fund at the Community Foundation gives donors confidence that their gifts will be well-managed financially, with a consistent focus on the growth of principal and the generation of income for our use.
When someone makes a gift to our endowment fund at the Community Foundation, it is permanently invested to grow
over time. Annual earnings from our fund ensure our programs continue in perpetuity.
Please consider supporting our programs by shopping our Amazon wishlist.
- Help restock supplies.
- Provide resources for creative activities.
- Ensure we have tasty afterschool snacks.
