Endowment Contributions
THE POWER OF ENDOWMENT
The greatest gift you can give your community or organization is donating to a permanent endowment fund. These are permanent savings accounts that grow over time, providing charitable income for projects and programs forever.
As an example of how an endowment fund works, if $100,000 was invested in an endowment fund in 1990, and no additional contributions were made to the account, the fund would have a total value of $181,465 at the end of 2020 and would have given out a total of $178,945 in grants over the years! That's a total value of $360,410 from the initial investment, and the fund will continue to grant out charitable dollars forever.
Better Living for Garrison maintains two endowments funds that financially support our mission to improve our community. These endowments allow us to provide annual grants to non-profit organizations in the Garrison area as well as to assist with current projects.
If you wish to provide a donation to either of the endowment funds please see the information below. Your donation may be eligible for a North Dakota income tax credit.
