20. Understanding Endowment Funds
In this episode of First You Talk: Navigating Generosity, we explore the endowment fund - how it works, considerations, and best practices.
How does an endowment work? Is it really meant to last “forever”? What happens if the nonprofit selected for an endowment closes? What are best practices that can make the most of an endowed fund?
Two philanthropic advisors dive into these questions and more!
You'll hear from:
- Mark Brewer, CAP® | President/CEO, Central Florida Foundation
- David Torre, J.D., CEPA®, CFP®, AEP®, TEP®, CAP® | Wealth and Philanthropic Strategist
