Newton County Endowment Funds

Newton County Endowment Funds

The Community Foundation's endowment is made up of smaller endowments called funds, each of which is established by a separate agreement and is accounted for separately. These funds are designed to carry out the philanthropic intentions of the founding contributors. The corpus of a fund is pooled with other funds for investment purposes. Disbursements from the fund in the form of grants, scholarships, or payments to designated agencies are made from investment earnings only.
