COMMUNITY ENDOWMENT FUND
By supporting Silicon Valley Community Foundation's Community Endowment
Fund you are helping to catalyze change and fund innovative solutions to the region's most
challenging problems.
The Community Endowment Fund is a permanent charitable resource that grows
through your support and provides much-needed funding to local nonprofit organizations. When you
give to the endowment, you're helping to meet the needs of our community today, and for years to come.
Your gift supports the Peninsula and Silicon Valley in perpetuity.
Meeting Needs Today and Tomorrow
There is a real need for a flexible, unrestricted fund to respond quickly
to local needs. And if a natural disaster or other unforeseen event should occur, the endowment
enables the foundation to step in and provide emergency support. The Community Endowment Fund is,
in effect, a savings account protecting and serving the needs of our region.
We invest and manage the endowment to provide long-term growth and flexibility,
to address our community's most pressing needs. The foundation is rigorous in evaluating the impact
of our grantmaking, so donors can be assured that their investments are making a real difference in
the lives of all who live in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.
With the Community Endowment Fund, anyone can be a philanthropist. There is no
minimum requirement on gifts.
Donations can be made in cash, stock, real estate,
through your will or trust, or by clicking on the button above. Contributors
of $10,000 or more to the Community Endowment Fund may also join
the Silicon Valley Community Foundation Legacy
Society;
and contributions of $50,000 or more may establish a named
endowed fund.
