To celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2023, CFAAC extended a special invitation to nonprofits across the county to establish an endowment fund with a reduced minimum contribution required. Thanks to a generous donor who underwrote the set-up fees in honor of CFAAC’s anniversary, organizations were able to open a Designated Fund with an initial investment and no additional barriers to entry.
The goal was clear: each Designated Fund needed to reach a balance of $25,000 within three years. Once that milestone was met, CFAAC would permanently endow the fund to generate annual grant distributions to benefit the nonprofit. Forty nonprofits took advantage of this meaningful opportunity to strengthen their long-term sustainability. Thirteen funds were endowed immediately, and throughout 2025 and into 2026, six additional nonprofit funds joined the ranks of permanently endowed funds.
To explore a complete list of Designated and Endowed Funds, we invite you to visit CFAAC’s Fund Directory, where you can learn more about these funds and find opportunities to support their continued growth.
