endowment fund

create an endowment fund

An endowment fund provides annual revenue to keep Ruben's Shoes Society running indefinitely. As the fund grows, interest earned off the capital investment grows as well and provides re-occurring annual revenue without depleting the capital investment.  

​

If you have a significant amount to donate for your year-end Charitable Giving, you can create a legacy that gives in perpetuity, year after year, year after year. 

​

A portion of the endowment fund will be used to directly support our operations, while a portion is used to directly fund projects. 

​

If this is of interest, we would love to hear from you.
