Endowed Gifts
Make Your Generosity Last for Generations
Imagine making a gift today that could help animals and families for generations to come.
An endowed gift to Angels of Assisi is a lasting investment in our mission. Your gift is invested to provide ongoing support for our lifesaving programs and services, helping ensure at-risk animals receive compassionate care, and families have access to low-cost veterinary services for years to come.
How Does an Endowment Work?
It's simple. Your gift is invested, and a portion of the fund is distributed each year to support Angels of Assisi's mission. The remaining funds stay invested to help sustain its impact over time.
You can make a lasting difference by:
Contributing to Angels of Assisi's existing endowment
Establishing a named endowment in honor or memory of someone special
Including an endowed gift in your will or estate plans
Your gift can support a specific area of our work or be used wherever the need is greatest.
Make Your Annual Gift Last for Generations
Have you supported Angels of Assisi year after year? Imagine making a gift today that could provide that same level of support well into the future.
For example, an endowed gift of $25,000 with an annual distribution of 5% could provide approximately $1,250 each year to support animals and families in our community.
It's one way to turn your generosity today into a lasting legacy of compassion.
Why Does It Matter? Just Ask Missy.
When Missy arrived at Angels of Assisi, she was in heartbreaking condition. Severely matted and neglected, she was suffering from wounds, bruising, ticks, and painful skin issues that required immediate medical attention.
Our veterinary team stepped in to provide the treatment, medication, and care she desperately needed. With time and compassion, Missy began her journey toward a healthier, happier life.
Stories like Missy's are why planning for the future matters. Endowed gifts help ensure that Angels of Assisi can continue being there for the next Missy, the next animal in need, and the next family who needs a helping hand, for generations to come.
Create Your Legacy
Whether you're honoring a loved one, planning for the future, or simply looking for a meaningful way to give, an endowed gift can help ensure Angels of Assisi is here for the animals and families who will need us tomorrow.

Longtime Angels of Assisi supporter Barry wanted to make a lasting difference while honoring the memory of his wife and beloved dog, Louie. He also wanted to help ensure that Angels of Assisi could continue providing lifesaving care to animals and families in our community for generations to come.
Barry established a $25,000 endowed gift in their memory. His gift is invested, with a portion of the fund (approximately 5–6% annually) used to support Angels of Assisi's programs and services. The remaining funds stay invested to help sustain the endowment's impact over time.
Through this thoughtful gift, Barry created a lasting tribute to those he loved while helping Angels of Assisi continue making a difference in the lives of animals and the people who love them for years to come.
