An endowment at the Library Company is a designated fund that is invested to produce income to make possible the donor’s wishes. Only the income from the fund is used while the principal of the account is preserved. The minimum size gift to establish an endowment is $10,000. This can be paid over a period of years. You may create an endowment in your name or in the name of someone important to you. You may enter into a formal agreement with the Library Company to ensure that the income is directed to the purpose you choose.
