Ways to Give

The Shelby County Endowment Fund works with individuals, families, business and organizations to meet their charitable giving goals. We offer a wide range of giving options that can be used to establish or add to a charitable fund. Establishing your own named fund does not require great wealth and, it is not complicated either. By working with Shelby County Endowment Fund, you can provide ongoing support to charitable organizations during your lifetime or as a lasting legacy - or both!

Our community benefits from both large and small gifts given through the Shelby County Endowment Fund. Becoming a donor to the Shelby County Endowment Fund is an easy way to help support the community you have lived in, loved, or raised your family. There are many options and we invite you to find the option that works best for you. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
