A Nonprofit Agency Endowment Fund can be established at CFAAC with a minimum of $25,000. Your organization can add to the endowment at any time. The fund can be named after your organization, in honor of a major donor, or another name that reflects your organization’s mission.
Your organization’s endowment monies are invested and safeguarded to meet the future needs of the organization. CFAAC will manage your fund, report to the IRS and the State of Maryland, prepare quarterly statements, and distribute income to your organization. The assets the nonprofit contributes to the endowment continue to be recorded on your organization’s balance sheet even though they are legally held and managed by CFAAC.
Your organization will receive quarterly financial reports on the status of the endowment, including gifts, grants, fees, and investment returns. You will also have access to the online portal to review the status of your fund at any time.
Our Endowment Calculator is a useful tool for donors and advisors to project the growth and potential grantmaking capacity of an endowment over time.
