Agency funds with the Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region can help nonprofit organizations plan for the future.

Agency Endowments

The Community Foundation considers effective management of agency funds to be one of the most important contributions we make to strengthening the Capital Region’s not-for-profit agencies and institutions. More than twenty local nonprofit organizations have chosen to partner with the Community Foundation to establish agency endowments and reserve funds, ranging in size from $5,000 to more than $300,000.

An agency endowment will provide your organization with a steady, predictable stream of income.  In addition, an agency endowment demonstrates your organization’s commitment to longevity, and provides donors with an attractive option for substantial donations or legacy gifts.

We would be happy to make a presentation to your board and/or staff leadership on how your organization can establish an agency endowment or reserve fund. To learn more, call the Foundation at (518) 446-9638.
