Endowment funds help secure the ongoing future of the ENA Foundation by providing continual support. Endowment gifts are retained in perpetuity and cannot be spent. The investment earnings from the endowed funds provide annual awards to recipients. The amount awarded each year is dependent on the ENA Foundation’s spending policy, which is developed to provide a predictable stream of funding. While each endowed fund is accounted for separately, each fund’s balance is pooled with other ENA Foundation endowment funds, increasing its potential for investment return while further strengthening its earning potential.
Endowed funds may be initiated with a gift of any amount and a signed agreement to fully fund the endowment within five years. Endowments are frequently funded by cash gifts, but they may also be funded by transfers of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate or, other types of property. Gifts toward endowed scholarships may also be made by bequest. Please contact the ENA Foundation for additional information or assistance. LEARN MORE
The ENA Foundation’s legacy society is named for ENA’s co-founders, Anita Dorr and Judith Kelleher. As entrepreneurial visionaries, Anita and Judy left a lasting legacy on emergency nursing as they led ENA to national prominence and recognition as the only association dedicated to the advancement of the specialty through education and advocacy.
Committed benefactors who want to make a difference and provide a legacy of philanthropy can do so through planned gifts. Benefactors who support the ENA Foundation through a bequest in their will or another type of planned gift are welcomed into membership in The Anita Dorr and Judith Kelleher Legacy Society.
