How an endowment works
An endowment fund is established with us at the Children's Home Society Of Florida Foundation. The principal of the endowment is kept intact and the annual earnings, typically income and a portion of the capital growth, is used where most needed or for a specific purpose determined by the families creating the endowment. Children's Home Society Of Florida Foundation has established family or honorary endowments, enabling us to carry on our important work in the years to come. You can make a significant contribution to further our mission to support our children and families…and it's easier than you might think.
Here are some of the ways to make an endowment gift to Children's Home Society Of Florida Foundation
