Loving Helena Forever--The Importance of the Endowment

When someone asks you to give to an endowment, you may think, "I'm can't afford to make a major gift to an endowment" or "Giving to endowments is complicated.*"

This simply isn't true.

Gifts of all sizes and levels of complexity can make a difference in our community.

HACF is participating in a five year challenge with the Montana Community Foundation, with a goal of raising a specific amount funding for our endowment. Our goal for 2024 is $12,500 total, and we've already secured $6,000. If we can raise the additional $6,500 by the end of the year, we will receive a $5000 incentive! This is a significant boon to HACF.

Giving a gift of any size to the HACF endowment will greatly benefit your communities now AND forever.

Please support us today as we meet the challenge facing us to grow our endowment in 2024.
