With planned giving, you can provide long-lasting support for Optimist International Foundation while enjoying financial benefits for yourself.
You can leave a legacy to perpetually support the causes you love with an endowment gift. An endowment is a fund you can create now or in the future to achieve the impact you desire. The income earned on your endowment will provide lasting annual support to your charitable causes.
At the time you create your endowment, you sign an endowment agreement that details the scope and desired impact of your endowment funds. Your funds will generally be invested to produce stable, predictable growth. Each year, a set percentage of your endowed funds will be distributed according to your endowment agreement.
If you have any questions about endowment gifts, please contact us. We would be happy to assist you and answer any questions you might have.
