Rose Community Foundation’s Endowment Building Pathways provide structured support to help
organizations launch and grow endowments and sustain an organizational culture that builds for the future. Each of the three pathways supports organizations at different stages of their endowment building work and include trainings, incentives, individual coaching, resources and a platform to connect with and learn from peers.
“The Foundation helped us translate the idea of an endowment into a reality with a plan to expand the fund moving forward, and we did it while building relationships with other organizations. I strongly recommend this program to other organizations on the cusp of launching an endowment.”
