A gift to the endowment is one of the most significant and impactful ways you can advance cancer care today and for generations to come. Endowment gifts are invested and a portion of the interest earned each year is granted to Mary Bird Perkins providing vital care, while the remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support.
By creating a Legacy Fund, you can permanently name an endowed fund based on what is most meaningful to you or your loved one. You can honor your care team or loved one by establishing a Legacy Fund and make a lasting impact on the future of cancer care.
