Overview of Funds
Most of the work of the Windham Endowment is accomplished through the
distribution of money gathered from sources both inside and outside the
Town. These activities are organized around the set of funds set up
within the Endowment - for any particular need, there is a fund. In
addition, there is a General Endowment Fund that can benefit any
organization in Town.
The set of funds is not fixed. New funds will be added as necessary and
some, such as funds created to hold money for a short-term project, will
eventually be removed. Most funds, however, are intended to be
permanent.
Funds can be created in a variety of ways. Organizations in the Town may
choose to establish a relationship with the Endowment, part of which is
to establish a fund for their own purposes. Also, individuals may create
a fund for a purpose that they set. Finally, the Board of Directors may
establish a new fund based on what they see as a new need in the Town.
The full list of funds
at the Windham Endowment is updated as the scope of our work grows.
