Every year some of the investment income is retained to ensure your gift grows and is protected from market fluctuations. Then the balance of the income from the investments is distributed to worthy causes throughout Northland each and every year, forever.
Every bit counts and donations of any size can make a difference. For example, $100,000 invested today could grow to $200,000 in 50 years, and over that time, an additional $200,000 in grants could be given back to charitable causes in Northland. Or, with a smaller donation, you can help to grow an existing fund to create a bigger impact.
When you donate to Northland Community Foundation, your gift becomes part of an enduring legacy. The Foundation invests funds on behalf of people, charities or businesses that would like to donate back to Northland charitable causes forever and deliver the interest back to the chosen charitable cause each year. This creates a legacy for the donor and the chosen charity. We work with our trusted local advisors, Craigs Investment Partners, to invest your funds responsibly. This allows us to protect the capital of your donation while generating income to support the causes and communities you care about. Whether your passion is health, education, the environment, sport, or the arts, your donation will continue to make a difference where it matters most.
