Endowment Funds

In June 2001, the Foundation announced the establishment of the Free Clinic Endowment Fund and an Undesignated Endowment Fund. Endowments are gifts of which only the interest income from the principle is spent. These funds will serve as a perpetual income source to support the services and programs of the Free Clinic and other designated areas.

There are three types of endowment giving. The General Endowment Fund was established for all gifts that are intended for endowment but non-directed by the donors. A minimum gift of $25,000 is required to direct an endowed gift to a certain area of interest. A minimum gift of $50,000 is required for the donor to name the endowment.

A donor who makes a gift at the $25,000 or $50,000 level would not only be recognized as an Endowment contributor, but also as a Warren Society General’s Circle member at the 2 Star or 3 Star General level.

The following individuals have made very generous gifts to this fund:

  • $50,000 gift given by an anonymous donor
  • $100,000 gift to establish The Desmarais Family Endowment given by John and Chris Desmarais
