Not ready to start a fund?
Consider a gift to the General Endowment.
If establishing a fund is not the right choice for you, but you’re interested in supporting the community both now and in the future, you may consider a charitable gift to the Permian Basin General Endowment. As an unrestricted fund, the fund can support a variety of programs or projects and allow our Grants Committee to respond to changing needs and charitable work throughout the Permian Basin.
