Endowment

An endowment to The Salvation Army is a lasting gift that supports our work in the community in perpetuity. The endowed gift is invested, with a portion paid out annually to fund our programs. Any increase in value is retained, allowing the endowment to grow and continue supporting future generations. Endowments can be established now or funded later as part of your will planning.

Endowments are designed to exist forever, ensuring your impact on the community never ends. Through your endowment, you will continue supporting The Salvation Army's mission.

The Salvation Army's endowments support various activities and services, including youth programs, food banks, shelters, rehabilitation programs, and more. These endowments enable us to address needs wherever they are greatest, including the programs and areas that matter most to you.

Donors can establish endowments for a specific purpose that aligns with their passions. These designated gifts ensure that your contribution supports a particular program or geographic area, making a critical difference in the communities you care about.

Named endowments are a meaningful way to honor a loved one. With a starting gift of $100,000, a named endowment creates an enduring statement of your values. The stories behind these endowments inspire our volunteers and staff every day.
