Endowments

Kingdom Significant Investment Opportunities

A Positive Influence

The Prestonwood Foundation recognizes the many organizations that are equipped with qualities and talents to help people, and we seek to assist those groups by providing operating income through Endowments. Endowments are permanent funds used to equip the future charitable works with financial resources.

Contributions to Endowments become part of a permanent fund that generates support to a designated cause. The original gift to an Endowment (the corpus), stays in the Endowment fund for perpetuity, and the interest and dividends generated are used to support designated charitable causes. Even though Endowments generate funds to give away money each year, their total assets may also grow through prudent investment strategies, especially in favorable economic climates.
