Legacy Giving

Securing the Legacy

For the first 17 years of operation, the foundation was run by an all-volunteer staff. Age of the staff coupled with a desire for this foundation to be viable long into the future created a need to establish an endowment to make that happen. Consider donating to our endowment to help ensure future generations of those in the trades will have access to these much-needed resources.

What is the Joseph Groh Foundation Endowment

The endowment is a permanent fund designed to sustain our mission long term. Its investment income supports the cost of administration, fundraising and outreach while preserving the principal for future generations.

Why It Matters

  • By having an endowment cover the cost of administration, fundraising and outreach, that leaves 100% of your sponsorships and grants to go directly to grant recipients
  • Provides for administrative stability into the future
  • Provides flexibility for the endowment giver

Endowment Stewardship

All endowment funds are managed under board-approved investment and spending policies, following best nonprofit practices and are in compliance with UPMIFA.
