Endowment Fund
A permanent endowment fund has been established to provide support for two philanthropic projects of the Assistance League of San Bernardino. Donations made to the endowment fund will be held permanently and only the income will be used to support the Dr. Earl R. Crane Children's Dental Health Center and Operation School Bell.®
Donors can contribute gifts of cash or appreciated property to the Assistance League of San Bernardino Endowment Fund managed by The Community Foundation. Donations to the endowment fund can be made in honor of someone, as a recognition of a birthday or other special event, or in memory of a loved one. There are a number of options available to you when designating a gift for the Assistance League of San Bernardino Endowment Fund in your will or trust. You can designate a fixed sum of money, certain properties or a share of your estate after obligations have been met. Your gift can be contingent. That is, funds are to go to an individual if they survive you, if not, they are donated to the Assistance League of San Bernardino Endowment Fund. Because there are many ways to donate you may want to consult your attorney or financial consultant or have the Assistance League of San Bernardino refer you to an attorney or financial consultant.
The Community Foundation has been an established charitable endowment management organization since 1941. They currently handle 23 million dollars in assets from individuals and community organizations. They invest the funds with assistance of professionals, file necessary federal and state reports annually and acknowledge receipt of donations. The principal is held in the endowment in perpetuity and never spent. The interest is dispersed annually to the organization unless they choose to have all or part of the funds added to the principal.
