🎉 Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know an agency endowment fund can provide a permanent source of financial support for your nonprofit? By investing the principal and using a portion of the earnings each year, an endowment fund helps ensure your organization's mission continues to make an impact for generations to come.

At YCF, we help nonprofits establish and grow endowment funds that create lasting financial stability and a legacy of giving. If you're ready to secure your organization's future, we'd love to help.

📧 Contact us at [email protected] to learn more about starting an endowment fund for your nonprofit.

August is Make-A-Will Month. 💙

Creating a will is one of the most meaningful ways to protect the people and causes you care about. Did you know that you can also leave a lasting legacy by naming YCF as a beneficiary in your will or trust?

Legacy gifts help strengthen our communities by supporting scholarships, nonprofits, and the causes that matter most to you. Every legacy gift helps create opportunities that will benefit generations to come.

If you've been thinking about creating or updating your estate plan, August is the perfect time to take that important step.

YCF is here to help you explore charitable giving options that align with your philanthropic goals and create a legacy that will benefit our communities for years to come.

Learn more by contacting our office or visiting our website to learn how YCF can provide the resources to help you develop and implement a simple plan for giving: https://ycfwv.org/how-to-give/
