Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.
