VIII. Expendable or Endowed Fund

Endowments are permanent funds established to carry out the donor’s philanthropic intentions in perpetuity. In essence, endowments are gifts that keep growing and giving. Assets are invested for growth, and the amount available for grants each year is based on a “spending rule” that currently distributes a maximum of 4.50% of the average market value of the fund over the preceding 13 quarters. (Note: this percentage rate can vary based on the economic growth forecast and is reviewed annually by the Investment Committee of AAF.)

Expendable funds permit distributions in any amount at any time.

Type of Fund

My fund is an endowment. It will make distributions to nonprofits in perpetuity.

My fund is expendable. It will make distributions until fund assets are exhausted, at which time the fund will terminate.

* My fund is expendable during the lifetime(s) of the original donor(s). I/we wish the fund to become an endowment upon the death of the last original donor.

* Please note, this option is currently available to funds with assets greater than or equal to $25,000. If upon the death of the last original donor the balance in the fund does not meet this required threshold for endowment, the fund shall remain an expendable fund.

The information on this form will be used to start the fund agreement between the submitter and AAF. Both parties will have the opportunity to clarify and change the above information upon mutual agreement. The fund will not be executed until both parties have signed an agreement and the fund has been funded. An AAF staff member will contact you soon. AAF will not share this information with any other party. Please see our privacy policy below.
