Wayne County Community Foundation’s future vitality and stability depend on continuing to increase our permanent funds. A strong endowment assures that WCCF will be here to respond to the changing needs of Wayne County for many years to come. An endowed fund established now will, in the future, improve lives and positively influence the quality of life in our communities in ways that we can only imagine today. Endowed funds are invested to grow in value while the original gift remains intact. As the fund grows, a portion of the earnings can be used to make grants to meet community needs. Your gift – along with all future earnings – is a permanent source of community capital, helping do good work today and in the future. With a permanently endowed fund, you can “give it away and still keep it.”

The following chart illustrating the Power of Endowment is based on an endowed fund established with $10,000.

She was the inspiration and driving force behind the Flo K. Gault Library for Independent Study on The College of Wooster’s campus.
