An endowment gift to Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Foundation today provides a brighter picture for our future. When you make a donation to an endowment, you give a gift with both immediate and long-term benefits.
Endowment donations are invested. A portion of the annual income from the investment is used to address immediate needs at Mary Bird Perkins. The remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support.
You can permanently name an Endowed Fund based on what is most meaningful to you or the individual in which the gift is named. The investment that results from your Named Endowed Fund will have a lasting and compounding impact on the fight against cancer. Consider the many options below where your investment can make a difference.
The Mission Fund directs investments to programs across the cancer care continuum. The objective of the mission fund is to extend vital financial resources to validated initiatives that improve survivorship and lessen the burden of cancer.
The Cancer Center has identified key elements of cancer care and relies on generous community support to fund these critical areas.
