COVID-19 has disrupted the charitable sector in many ways, with loss of fundraising revenue being one of the most prominent.

As you build towards recovery, the role of endowments may be more important than ever to provide your organization with a reliable funding source. Please join us as Dan Robert, Kitchener Waterloo Community Foundation’s (KWCF) Director of Philanthropy, explains what an endowment is, how to set your organization up to establish one whether big or small and what some of the options are.

KWCF currently partners with 20 local charities to provide endowment support, as well as manages reserve funds for a few other charities. This discussion will be relevant whether you already manage an endowment or are looking to learn more about the benefits of establishing an endowment.

This online session is free to all members and non-members. A link to the Zoom meeting will be shared with all registered guests on October 13, 2020.
