Nonprofit Non-Endowed Fund

A Non-Endowed Fund offers nonprofits a flexible way to manage and grow assets while maintaining access to their funds. Invested alongside AAACF’s pooled funds, these accounts can serve as a long-term savings or reserve resource that supports financial resilience. Unlike an endowment fund, assets in a non-endowed fund remain fully grantable, with distributions made by request to support general operations or unexpected needs. Nonprofits are encouraged to manage these funds with a long-term perspective, as they are best suited for assets not expected to be used within the next 18 months. Over time, a non-endowed fund may also be converted into an endowment fund, providing a pathway toward permanent, lasting support. AAACF provides the administrative expertise to steward these funds, allowing nonprofits to remain focused on advancing their mission.

Nonprofit Endowment Fund

AAACF holds endowments for more than 100 nonprofits, working in partnership with these organizations. Because AAACF has the administrative expertise to manage and steward all aspects of the endowment, each nonprofit can focus on carrying out its mission. Endowments provide a way for nonprofits to diversify their funding and build capital for the future. Loyal supporters of an organization can consider a planned gift their support continues in perpetuity. For example, a $25,000 estate gift approximates an $1,000 check each year!
