Program FAQs
Does Avenidas have an endowment?
Yes. When our endowment was first established by a very large gift in 1997,
Avenidas was delighted. We are proud to say that we have oversight over our
endowment monies. Members of our board of directors staff the investment
committee and watch over this fund.
Can I give to annual operations instead of the endowment, or otherwise restrict my gift?
Avenidas is happy to have you designate the work you want to fund, whether that be our current operations or our endowment for future growth—it is truly your choice.
How do I go about leaving a legacy gift to Avenidas?
The process is actually quite simple. You can designate a life insurance policy or an IRA to Avenidas, or name Avenidas in your will or estate. Additionally, you don’t have to change your entire will if you want to add Avenidas. We recommend that you work with your attorney to make this planned gift.
