ENDOWMENTS AND RESEARCH FUNDS

With a goal of providing stable, long-term financial resources for the Foundation as well as funding for specific areas or research, Endowment & Research Funds have been established by individuals and organizations.  An Endowment Fund is also a way to leave a legacy or to honor someone. Grants and Scholarships made possible through these funds provide financial support for the Foundation’s critical priorities.
