Endowments

At the heart of Saint Simeon’s Foundation, we believe in the power of investing in our future. An essential part of this vision is our endowment program, a unique way for our community to contribute towards our mission. But what exactly is an endowment, and why should you consider giving to one?

Understanding Endowments

Endowments are an incredible way to make a lasting impact on Saint Simeon’s future. Unlike regular donations, endowed gifts are invested. Each year, a percentage of the return from this investment is used to support essential initiatives at our home. This annual distribution, known as a “spending policy,” is carefully calculated and approved by our Foundation’s Board of Trustees.

Endowments are a powerful investment in Saint Simeon’s future as they deliver a dependable, perpetual source of funding.

The Power of a Minimum Gift

It might surprise you to learn that endowments can be created with a minimum gift of just $25,000. This investment not only supports our mission but also ensures a sustainable future for the Residents of Saint Simeon’s and their families.
