Endowment Fund

What is an Endowment Fund?

An endowment fund is a financial reserve that will provide long-term financial stability and a reliable income stream over time.

 

Income from the endowment fund will support the DYS mission by providing funding for essential programs and services. 

 

Why is endowment giving so powerful?

It’s a gift that will keep on giving! 

DYS will receive double the value of your gift every 20 years. FOREVER. That’s a powerful impact!

Leave Your Legacy!
