Agency Endowments

Agency Endowment Funds are created by local nonprofit organizations that wish to take advantage of the Springfield Foundation’s financial management and administrative resources, including advice on increasing endowments through planned giving.

Agency Endowment Funds protect the capital of your organization, show a commitment to long term financial planning, and create a steady stream of perpetual income.
