Endowed Gifts

Your Gift Can Last Forever

An endowment gift today provides a brighter future at Sheppard Pratt. When you make a donation to an endowment, you give a gift with both immediate and long-term benefits.

Endowment donations are invested. A portion of the annual income from the investment is used to address immediate needs at Sheppard Pratt. The remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support.

An Example of How It Works

Couple Smiling Longtime supporters of Sheppard Pratt, Charlie and Chris, have two goals: First, they want to make sure Sheppard Pratt continues to receive support in perpetuity. Second, they want to create a lasting legacy for Charlie’s parents.

Charlie and Chris make a $25,000 donation to Sheppard Pratt, which we invest, and each year, a portion of the income from the invested money will be used to support our mission in honor of Charlie’s parents. Plus, Charlie and Chris qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction on their taxes.
