Establishing an Agency Endowment Fund at HCF is a simple and efficient way to build a permanent source of income for your charitable organization.

Why build an agency fund?

• It is an attractive vehicle for your donors who wish to make a donation in their will.
• The Foundation professionally administers and invests the endowment that supports your organization, and provides regular reporting.
• A fund at HCF provides an additional layer of profile and credibility to potential donors.

How it works

• Your board determines how much you would like to invest long-term.
• Your organization works with HCF’s professional staff to complete a fund agreement.
• We set up a fund in the name of your charitable organization.
• Your organization receives regular statements on the fund.
• You can add to the fund at any time.
• We handle all the administrative details – including investment management – so that your organization can focus on its mission.
• Your donation is placed into an endowment that is invested over time.
• Earnings from your fund are distributed back to your organization, helping you to do your good work in the community.
