An endowment is a permanent fund of support for the purpose you specify. The principal of your gift is invested and grows over time. Distributions from the endowment are made annually based on the HPCG Board’s Finance Committee’s spending policy. This policy is designed to provide predictable revenue during volatile markets and to minimize the effects of inflation.

Endowment gifts are extremely valuable in enhancing the quality of HPCG’s patient care. They provide a constant resource regardless of public funding.

You can immediately establish an endowment through an outright gift using almost any type of asset — cash, securities, real estate or other property that can be liquidated. You may also make a pledge to the endowment to be paid over 3-5 years.  The minimum gift for a named endowment is $25,000. However, you can add gifts of any amount to one of the general endowments listed in ENDOWMENTS ARE FOREVER .

Bequests and other deferred gifts, including those that provide life income to you or another beneficiary, can also fund one of these endowments. Creating an endowment allows you the benefit of naming the fund and gives HPCG an opportunity to recognize your generosity in perpetuity. You may express your regard for HPCG or honor a relative, friend, even one of your medical providers.

Endowments enhance HPCG by ensuring a stable base of resources that will help sustain our nationally recognized program as one of the best for decades to come.

If you are thinking about creating an endowment to support a specific purpose, we encourage you or your financial advisor to work with the Resource Development staff to ensure that your gift will accomplish your goals over time.
