Endowed Gifts

An endowment gift to Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund today provides a brighter picture for our future. 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 Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund. The remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support.

An Example of How It Works

Couple Smiling Longtime supporters of Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund, Charlie and Susan have two goals: First, they want to make sure Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund continues to receive support after they are gone. Second, they want to create a lasting legacy for Charlie’s parents.

Charlie and Susan make a $25,000 donation to Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund, 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 Susan qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction on their taxes.
