What exactly is an endowment and how can my contribution help the O'Neill Community grow? Your contribution ensures that OCFF's mission will continue through the years. An endowment fund, quite simply, is money set aside (invested) to earn revenue. The principal value of the endowment fund is kept intact, while the investment earnings can be distributable dollars used to grant back out to the community.
