SASC Endowment Trust
A cornerstone of sustainability.
Endowment funds are a cornerstone of sustainability, designed to generate income through interest and dividends while preserving the principal investment.
In 2018, the Sebastopol Area Senior Center Board of Directors established an Endowment Trust to secure the long-term future of our services. The funds are strategically invested to achieve growth while minimizing risk, with a strong focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. This includes a commitment to limiting investments in fossil fuels. Thanks to careful management, the fund continues to grow and is now valued above the total amount donated, despite market challenges.
Eventually, the fund will provide annual unrestricted and sustainable income. This can help us transition from “survival” fundraising to a sustainable future. Endowment donors usually continue their annual ongoing support of our services and make a special gift to the Endowment.

Why an Endowment?
