When you make a gift to the Fund, the capital remains intact. Only the net investment income earned is used, thus perpetuating your gift to provide help and hope to people in need for generations.
Assets of the fund are professionally managed and are invested to achieve a balance between long-term security of capital, asset growth and a level of annual income that will allow for funding of worthwhile community programs and services.
The Fund is an excellent way to achieve your personal charitable objectives, while making a sound investment into what benefits you and your family today and will serve the community in the future.
You can invest in a specific area through a Donor Designated Fund or make a general donation as defined by the mandate of the fund for community wide benefit by:
Cash donation
Bequest in a will
Gift of security
Charitable life insurance policies
