What is Endowment?

An Endowment is a permanent fund that will generate income to benefit a charitable cause or organization. You can even create an endowment to meet the changing needs and opportunities in Lancaster County over time. Endowed funds are designed to last. Forever.

Estimate My Impact

A Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) is one way to give back to the community you love while realizing a lifetime income from the gift. Use our interactive calculator to see how a donation through a CGA will make an impact over time.
