Pioneer Endowment Fund
Choosing to support our Pioneer Endowment Fund is a way to help ensure our continued growth. The endowment fund is structured so that the principal amount is kept intact, while some of the investment income can be released as needed.

Donor Advised Funds - A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is like a charitable investment account for the purpose of supporting a non-profit organization. When you contribute to a DAF at a public charity, you are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction.

If you have a DAF, you can make a grant recommendation to support the Pioneer Endowment Fund.
