Th at’s why we created our ‘Legacy Fund’Fun as a new way for our donors to grow an endowment fund that will provide a ppermanenter income stream to the charitable organization of their choice. FuFunds established under the Legacy Fund program are intended to grow to the $$12,500 minimum over a period of six years. Th e fi rst payment would be $1,000, anda additional payments can be made for any amount at any time by anyone. Th is meets the need of the donor who has the desire to start a fund but requires a little more time in fulfi lling the minimum. As the donor builds the fund, the Foundation will reinvest and credit all interest, dividends and market returns to the fund. Once the fund reaches the $12,500 minimum, the income will be used to award grants from the fund. Sample Will Language Make a Will and Leave a Legacy....
