Nonprofit Endowments

Nonprofits provide solutions for a variety of needs throughout our community. Funding is a necessary part of those solutions. Ideally, a nonprofit should be able to administer programs without being overburdened by fundraising and the management and investment of capital.

Establishing a permanent endowment alleviates some of those issues and gives assurance of consistent and reliable income even during volatile economic conditions.

SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF AN ENDOWMENT WITH THE PERMIAN BASIN AREA FOUNDATION INCLUDE:

MANAGEMENT AND STEWARDSHIP IN COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS GOVERNING ENDOWMENTS

GUARDIANSHIP TO PRESERVE ASSETS FOR SUSTAINING ORGANIZATIONAL PURPOSES

DISCIPLINED FINANCIAL POLICIES WITH FOCUS ON LONG-TERM GROWTH

PARTICIPATION WITH A LARGE AND DIVERSE POOL OF ASSETS WITH ACCESS TO PROVEN FINANCIAL MANAGERS AT ECONOMICAL FEES

ROUTINE ACCESS TO DISTRIBUTIONS – EVEN DURING DEPRESSED MARKETS

DONOR CONFIDENCE IN A LARGER INSTITUTION

CAPACITY TO RECEIVE ALTERNATIVE, NONCASH GIFTS

PROFESSIONAL ADMINISTRATION AND REPORTING
