Endowment Fund
What is an Endowment Fund?
An endowment fund is an investment portfolio consisting of capital derived from donations. Endowments are established to fund charitable and nonprofit institutions. Donations to endowment funds are tax-deductible with the funds donated remaining in the trust account and a guaranteed return is paid to the charity or nonprofit each year.
The Endowment is a great way of leaving a legacy. It is a way for you to know that a larger gift will be spent wisely and will make a lasting impact.
What is Hough Ear Institute's Endowment Fund?
Hough Ear Institute established an endowment fund in 2022 at the Oklahoma City Community Foundation (OCCF). The Hough Ear Institute Endowment Fund will be used to cover the cost of our education and humanitarian programs each year in honor of Elsa Freda Masing. All OCCF endowment funds pay a 5% return every year.
Invest In the Future of Hope
The Goal $40 Million to FOREVER FUND Research Innovations.
