Establishing an Endowment Fund At RSF Foundation, we value customer service. The benefits of opening an endowment fund with us are:
You choose: maximum 5% payout, or let the fund continue to grow
$10,000 suggested minimum to establish the endowment fund
You can hold multiple endowments for different purposes or programs
Individuals may establish donor-directed endowments to benefit an organization
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 the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation. Contact us to discuss 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. Staff are 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.”

Donor-Directed Endowments
Discover if this type of endowment fund is right for you and your legacy.
The professional staff at the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation provides options for your charitable giving and shares their extensive knowledge of nonprofits doing the best work in your areas of interest in San Diego County and beyond.
Our hearts are with our local community as we continue to witness the effects of COVID-19. Rancho Santa Fe Foundation remains open (albeit remotely) to serve our donors and community partners.
RSF Foundation, in collaboration with Coastal Community Foundation and the Leichtag Foundation, have created the North County COVID-19 Response Fund.
The Fund will immediately make grants for general operating support for organizations based in North County San Diego and/or directly serving the basic needs of vulnerable populations in North County San Diego in response to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
