Ensure the Future Endowment Donation
“Ensure the Future” Endowment Donation
Support your community’s future with us as we build an endowment for CET. Together, we can make sure we will be here for vibrant, climate resilient homes and businesses.
In 2015 we started endowment to ensure we are here to help those who need us in the years to come. The fund currently holds xxx million dollars. Our assets are conservatively invested for the long term, while a portion of the investment income can be used to address special challenges or new opportunities in the future.
Give Now
Give a gift of $1000 or more in cash or securities. A gift designated for the endowment, in addition to your annual support, makes an immediate impact by generating investment revenue.
Make a gift directly from your IRA to the Center. Individuals age 70 1/2 and older may contribute $1 to $100,000 per year directly from their IRA to CET and satisfy all or a portion of the required minimum distribution.
Note: Gifts to charity from IRAs are not considered income thus are not eligible as an income tax deduction.
