They are a type of fund that enables nonprofit organizations to establish endowments to support their work in perpetuity. An agency endowment fund differs from a designated fund because it is not established by a single donor.

An agency endowment fund is ideal for organizations who:

• Are interested in creating permanent support for their organization.
• Have a healthy operating budget with resources in reserve.
• Have a broad base of support.
• Are stable and have a plan for long-term sustainability.
• Have donors who share in the vision of creating an agency endowment fund and want to support the organization in perpetuity.

• Discuss an agency endowment fund with your financial advisor or the Foundation's Philanthropic Services staff.
• The Winston-Salem Foundation will customize a fund agreement for you.
• Make an initial contribution.

For more information on establishing a fund at The Winston-Salem Foundation, contact a member of the Philanthropic Services staff at (336)725-2382.
