Assets that generate earnings for your annual use are essential for long-term financial stability. It’s called Endowment. GSB has fundraising guides with vast successful experience helping charities and churches start and build Endowment Funds and Foundations. A productive planned giving program is more than just investing wisely. Endowments grow most dramatically when this type of giving is promoted, encouraged and aggressively pursued.  GSB can turn your Endowment program from a quiet fund into a dynamic, productive effort, engaging people and securing big gifts.
