Endowment Funds

An endowment fund at Rancho Santa Fe Foundation is a permanent fund that builds a legacy for the future of a charitable organization. As it grows through contributions and investment earnings, the fund provides annual support for both the current needs and the long-term sustainability of the organization.

Establishing an Endowment Fund

At RSF Foundation, we value customer service. The benefits of opening an endowment fund with us are:

Nonprofit organizations also have a non-endowed fund option. This type of fund may be set up for special projects, or as a first step toward establishing an endowment. Some organizations have both endowed and non-endowed funds, and some have multiple endowments, at Rancho Santa Fe Foundation. Contact us to discuss fees and the fund that would be right for your organization.

“All foundations say they are committed to their donors’ success, but not all act upon it. With RSFF, we have an active partner, a valuable resource, and an advocate. The RSFF Staff is readily accessible to assist with our needs, and they go the extra mile to help increase awareness of our work. RSFF feels like a community.”
