Endowment Funds 101
The Success of the SCF is based on a simple concept. We never spend your gift, but carefully invest it. As the income builds up we only distribute interest created by the fund. So the donation you endowed with us is here for good, working hard and giving back year after year, no matter how big or how small your donation.
