Another ‘branch’
is the Excellence in Education Fund, established to enhance current educational
programming.
By
establishing a fund (adding a branch to Evansville Fund’s family tree) more
than money is being passed on. Hope and opportunity are being passed on for
future generations.50 years from now;
100 years from now, the Evansville Fund and it’s ‘charitable branches’ will be
shaping this community and the lives of the people who live here. That’s a
legacy.
Are you getting the idea? From health and human service programs to the environment, youth programs and more, the Evansville Fund is the best resource for everyone who wants to make an investment in the whole community.
Like the community itself, the Evansville Fund is built on the concept of permanence. It is an endowed fund that grows over time, and as community needs change, and they will, the Evansville Fund becomes a more and more valuable asset for Evansville. Here's how it works:
You make a gift (cash, stock, real estate, or other asset) during your lifetime or through a bequest in your will.
Your gift is pooled for greater investment return potential.
You receive tax benefits in the year your gift is made.
Annually, or in response to need, the Evansville Fund Advisory Board evaluates all aspects of community well-being and makes grant awards to nonprofit organizations and to Evansville schools.
The Evansville Fund helps us, as a community of people, to accomplish what most of us cannot do on our own. Your past gift, and your future generosity in any amount, will keep on giving to meet today's needs and the challenges of the future-whatever they may be.
Annually in April, the Evansville Fund Advisory Board accepts and reviews grant applications submitted by schools and not-for-profit organizations providing direct programs and services to Evansville. Evansville Fund Advisory Board made the following grant awards May 28, 2009:
