Endowments and Designated Gifts provide our
organization with stable, long-term funding for our orphanage aid projects. They give us a way to plan ahead for anticipated needs,
knowing that a certain amount of money is going to be available.
Endowments An endowment is a gift made in perpetuity from which the only dollars disbursed are those received from the investment of the principal. Endowments may be offered for a variety of reasons: to pay tribute to loved ones, to honor special occasions, to support a particular area of interest, etc. In addition, they may be used for a variety of donor-requested purposes, providing the purposes are consistent with the mission of Altrusa International of Longview-Kelso Foundation, Inc. Our Existing Funds - You Can Contribute! Contributions to these funds in any amount are always welcome! If you'd like to make a contribution, please visit our Contact Us page and designate that your donation is to be directed to one of these particular funds: Our China Orphanage Endowment Fund is a general fund, which may be used for any of the types of projects seen here on our web site. The Cao Ke Xiu Jiujiang Fund was founded by the parents of Cao Ke Jiujiang. The fund has reached the $10,000 mark. Income distributed from the fund will be used to pay for various projects at the orphanage in Jiujiang. Additional donations to this fund would be much appreciated.. The Piper Frances Naudin Endowment Fund has reached the $10,000 mark. Income distributed from this fund annually is being used specifically to pay for needs at the orphanage in Nanchang. Start Your Own Endowment Fund You or your company can start your own named endowment fund and may be recognized through news releases and printed foundation publications including district and international publications and web sites. In the event anonymity is requested, donor wishes will be followed. Please see our Endowment and Designated Gift Policies page for further information or contact Dr. Peggy Gurrad. Designated Gifts A designated gift is a contribution from which the monies will be disbursed under donor-created guidelines, in its entirety over an agreed time period. We'll be glad to discuss any ideas that you have for how your contribution is to be used. For further information, please see our Endowment and Designated Gift Policies page or contact Dr. Peggy Gurrad.
