Endowment
As an organization that champions sustainability, KCDF overall aspiration is to be a resource that supports organizations supporting community development in perpetuity. To achieve this, with support from partners and indeed prudent investment, KCDF has invested substantial funds whose returns will be used to support community development, in the long term (Endowment Funds).
Endowment funds are resources invested with the aim of utilizing the accrued earnings for grants to development projects over both short and long term periods. They are permanent because the principal amount is never spent and grows with time, ensuring that resources for goals set are always available.
Endowment Building
Sustainability is at the heart of KCDF’s work. In line with this, the Foundation maintains an endowment. These funds are managed in perpetuity and whose proceeds are invested in social community development projects.
KCDF also provides a platform for individuals, community organisations and other entities to develop and sustain an endowment fund for development purposes. This includes community endowments and legacy funds.
(i) Community endowments
With KCDF’s support, communities organise themselves, raise funds and build an endowment that guarantees permanent support for their needs
(ii) Legacy Funds
KCDF facilitates the establishment of individual, family or company endowments in support of causes that they are passionate about.
