About Our Endowment
Through careful and effective management of the endowment, The Night Ministry maintains a balance between our needs of today and the needs of the future.

In 2010, The Night Ministry established an endowment, the purpose of which is to provide for the long-term sustainability of our programs. The Board of Directors seeded the endowment with an initial allocation of $200,000 from an unexpected, unrestricted major gift. Since then, the balance has increased to $2.7 million, largely as a result of Board policy requiring that any unrestricted revenue derived from bequests or estates be placed in the endowment. Three donor-restricted gifts have also been made to the Endowment.

The Board’s Endowment Committee meets quarterly to fulfill its responsibility for oversight and management of the Endowment. Until the balance reaches $5 million, funds cannot be withdrawn to support our programs. Growing the Endowment is a focus of the Strategic Plan’s aim to ensure The Night Ministry's financial health well into the future.
