Endowment Opportunities :What is an endowment ? An endowment is like a permanent bank account where the initial amount (the principal) is invested and never invaded – only the interest on the fund is distributed to use for priority programs or specific needs. Endowed funds create an ongoing and reliable source of income in perpetuity. As the fund grows, so too does the annual disbursement to sustain the Hispanic Heritage Cultural Institute. And donors may add to the endowed fund over the years to increase funding power for the future.
