Ensure A Brighter Future
Endowments are investments which provide perpetual financial support for organizations, empowering nonprofits to be sustainable and resilient for years to come. Your organization can start an endowment through dedicating existing assets or by launching a fundraising campaign to invest in the future of your work.

“Over the years, we have been building a financial future for UNA to weather the many challenges our economy will face. Establishing an endowment was the next natural step. This means we will eventually have financing (through dividends from the endowment) to cover critical administrative functions in the budget. It means that UNA will be around for decades to come!”
Kate Rubalcava, Former Executive Director, Utah Nonprofits Association
