As in all gifts, donors can direct their gifts to a specific program or a specific use; and many do so. As a valued member of this community, we invite you to make a contribution to this year’s annual appeal. We thank you for your generosity and your help in growing the momentum at EmBe to partner with the community for affordable programs and childcare.

Endowment funds are permanent funds that are not spent and it is the interest on the investment that is used to support the organization. An endowment may also come with stipulations regarding its usage. In some circumstances an endowment may be required to be spent in a certain way or alternatively invested, with the principal to remain intact in perpetuity or for a defined time period. This allows for the donation to have an impact over a longer period of time. The donor has some flexibility when establishing an endowment.
