Endowment funds

Establish your own endowment fund.

What is an Endowed Fund? An endowment fund is an investment fund established by a foundation that makes consistent withdrawals from invested capital. The capital in endowment funds, often used by universities, nonprofit organizations, churches and hospitals, is generally utilized for specific needs or to further a company's operating process (Source: Investopedia.com).


Agency funds are made available to the agency the fund was established for. These funds are usually established by the agency itself or by donors who have a relationship, or special interest in the works of the agency.

Community and/or Field of Interest funds are established by donors to address issues/concerns in areas that are of specific interest to the donor. For instance, environmental, health, civic, and fine arts.

Scholarship funds are established by donors that identify the criteria for selection. Each foundation has their own scholarship funds Dickinson Area Community Foundation, Crystal Falls Area Community Foundation, Dickinson County Hospital Foundation, and Norway Area Community Foundation.
