Gifts
that build value over time
Giving to an ENDOWMENT FUND is a gift that KEEPS giving!

​How an Endowment Works
​
Endowment donations are placed into a special investment account, the returns of which are used for the long-term sustenance of a special project.
​
In the Montana Conference, we are focusing on endowment funds for educational purposes:
-
Ensure the strength of Adventist educational institutions and programs at a time when operating expenses have become formidable.
-
Provide greater stability when enrollment fluctuates, helping schools retain high-quality teachers rather than making staffing decisions based solely on short-term changes in student enrollment numbers.
-
Produce longevity of Adventist by keeping SDA education accessible for generations to come.
​
*Note: donations to endowment funds may be tax-deductible.
