Endowment Gift
An endowment gift allows you to leave a lasting legacy that supports the Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch mission in perpetuity. You can contribute to one of our existing endowment funds, or establish your own named endowment with a gift of $25,000 or more. The income it earns provides annual, long-term support for the Ranch and the priorities you care about most.
How you benefit from making an endowment gift
- Establish an endowment, or contribute to an existing endowment, during your lifetime to see the impact on at-risk children and their families year after year.
- Benefit from an income tax deduction in the year you make your gift.
- Avoid capital gains tax on an endowment gift of appreciated property.
How an endowment gift works
- Establish an endowment, or contribute to an existing endowment, during your lifetime to see the impact on at-risk children and their families year after year.
- The Ranch invests the assets in the endowment.
- The income is distributed annually to achieve your desired impact.
- You can make additions during your lifetime or supplement your endowment with your estate plan.
