Ensure the Future of Town Square
For Bright Ideas and Cloudy Days
“Will this work?” When our Town Square founders formed a plan for a community center at the abandoned courthouse, that was the question that everyone asked. What nonprofit community center ever started without the backing of a major benefactor?
Well….not a single one. Until now.
Since its founding in 2012, Town Square has grown beyond anyone’s wildest dreams, now with nearly 60,000 people walking through its doors each year. Every day, it changes people’s lives for the better, helping them to embrace a sense of community, follow their passions, get fit and healthy, find emotional support…and so much more.
Your generous gift to Town Square’s Endowment Fund will ensure that Town Square is able to help even more people and weather economic downturns for….forever!
Your gift to the Endowment Fund will:
Support the preservation of our beloved historic building.
Ensure that we can continue offering programs that serve people of all ages and backgrounds.
Provide long-term financial stability, allowing us to grow and adapt to the needs of our community.
Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us reach our goal of building a lasting legacy for the Town Square Community Center. Together, we can make sure that this cherished space remains a vibrant, thriving hub for future generations.
What is an Endowment?
An endowment is a long-term financial resource that helps ensure the sustainability of an organization’s mission and operations for generations to come.
It is a financial fund established by a nonprofit organization to provide long-term financial support. The endowment is typically made up of donated funds, and the principal (or core amount) of the endowment is kept intact. The organization uses only the income generated from the investments—such as interest, dividends, or capital gains—to support its programs and operations, ensuring a steady and sustainable source of revenue over time.
The endowment fund has the potential to grow beyond just the interest we withdraw. For instance, if the fund earns 5% annually and we only draw 4%, the fund will not only maintain its value but actually increase. This means there will be more available for future years, allowing the fund to grow over time and provide greater support in the long run.
