What is an Endowment?

An endowment is an investment that provides endless support to charitable causes. It’s an investment in the future … the future of San Diego. It’s a gift … a promise without end, made by you to your children and grandchildren in support of your community. Endowments are made possible by you … those who have lived and embraced all that our region has had, will have and can have.

Endowments are permanent. They are funds with the requirement that the principal is never spent. The balance in these funds is invested, earning income that is then spent to support charitable works in perpetuity.
