The Bridge to Hope has established an endowment fund with the Community Foundation of Dunn County to provide sustainable, long-term financial support for our mission. This partnership ensures that expert investment management and administrative oversight are in place, allowing our endowment to grow and provide consistent funding for the vital services we offer.
​
Your contribution to this endowment helps secure the future of our programs and ensures that survivors of violence continue to receive the support, advocacy, and resources they need—today, tomorrow, and for years to come.
Why Support Our Endowment?
With our endowment, donors have the opportunity to support The Bridge to Hope in two meaningful ways: You can make a gift to our current operations or contribute to the Bridge to Hope Endowment Fund at the Community Foundation of Dunn County, which provides ongoing operational support—now and for generations to come.
Contributions to the endowment are not only tax-deductible—they are a lasting investment in the future of our organization. Your gift will be managed with care and expertise, giving you peace of mind and helping ensure that our vital services remain available for those who need them.
Ways to Give:
1. Gifts of Cash The simplest way to support our mission is through a cash donation. You can give online at Bridge to Hope Endowment Fund – Donate by clicking the button at the top of the page or by mailing a check directly to the Community Foundation of Dunn County. Your gift is tax-deductible and supports both immediate and long-term needs of The Bridge to Hope.
​
2. Gifts of Appreciated Securities Donating stocks, bonds, or mutual funds is a tax-efficient way to support our endowment. You may avoid capital gains taxes and potentially make a greater impact than with cash alone.
​
3. Gifts of Retirement Assets If you’re 70½ or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to the Community Foundation. This satisfies your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), avoids income tax, and supports our mission.
​
4. Planned Giving Leave a legacy that ensures hope continues. By including The Bridge to Hope in your will, trust, or as a beneficiary of retirement assets, you can make a future gift that sustains our services—without affecting your current finances.
