Create a Legacy with an Endowed Fund
“These are the times that try men’s souls.”
Thomas Payne made an enduring mark in history, but when he wrote those words in 1776, he could not have imagined the challenges brought on by the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic. For more than 140 years, through times often better and sometimes worse, Baystate Health has made an enduring mark by serving you, your loved ones and neighbors, and our community.
You can leave your own enduring mark by creating an endowed fund with Baystate Health Foundation. Your endowment will be a permanent fund designed to last forever. Just a small portion of the endowment will be spent each year to support the program or activity you designate. The balance will remain in the endowment to grow and provide future distributions.
With a gift of as little as $5,000 a year or more over 5 years, you can create a fund that will support Baystate Health in perpetuity.
Donors often lend their own name to an endowed fund, name them for loved ones or perhaps dedicate them as a family to celebrate family values.
You can set up an endowed fund during your lifetime, either all at once or over a period of years. You could also arrange to fund your endowment at the end of your lifetime, perhaps after you have provided for the needs of your family.
Endowment funds provide an especially important source of reliable and stable support for Baystate Health. Most of all, your endowed fund can support what you love, year in and year out, forever – an enduring mark.
