Hispanic Women’s League Endowment Fund
Planned Giving
Women are the backbone of our community and, as such, our most important asset. Thus, if we are to improve our community, then we must improve the lives of Latina women. The Hispanic Women’s League has always believed that the best way to do so is through the attainment of higher education. To continue to assist Latina women in attaining their higher education, the Hispanic Women’s League established the Hispanic Women’s League Endowment Fund in 2006.
What is an endowment?
An endowment is a fund whose principal is not spent. Only the income from investments is used to support and assist the Hispanic Women’s League in granting scholarships to Hispanic women pursuing higher education.
As the fund grows it becomes an important help to the Hispanic Women’s League. The scholarships we have granted over the years have helped many women defray the cost of tuition; lessen their financial burden and assure that they attain higher education regardless of financial status.
How is the fund managed?
The Hispanic Women’s League Endowment Fund is managed by the Community Foundation of Greater Buffalo Board of Directors whose responsibility is to safeguard and invest the funds. The Community Foundation uses the services of professional money managers and other experts and follows a conservative investment policy; they can combine the endowment funds of many non-profits, thus getting a large return at a low cost.
The Community Foundation has a long track record of investment success. The Hispanic Women’s League Endowment Fund is a legal, tax-exempt entity.
How can I give?
Transform lives with a gesture that speaks from the heart. Whether through a direct gift of money, real estate, or securities, your generosity creates immediate impact. Consider leaving a lasting legacy by including the Hispanic Women's League Endowment Fund in your estate planning—your thoughtful decision today will empower generations of women tomorrow.
Life insurance beneficiary designations offer another meaningful way to make a difference. And what better way to honor a cherished loved one than through a memorial gift that continues their spirit of giving? Every contribution, no matter the form, helps weave a stronger future for Hispanic women in our community.
We suggest you visit with your tax or legal advisor about these and other methods. In such consultations, you need the name Hispanic Women’s League Endowment Fund (Federal Taxpayer I.D. number 16-1380731) to assure your gift keeps on giving.
In conclusion
Your gift is more than a donation—it's a perpetual investment in Latina women's futures. Every dollar you contribute becomes part of a permanent endowment, where only the generated income is used to create lasting change. This means your generosity continues working year after year, empowering generations of Latina women to achieve their dreams.
Whether large or small, your contribution joins forces with others to build a powerful foundation for the Hispanic Women's League. Together, we're creating an enduring legacy of support, education, and opportunity. Thank you for being part of this transformative journey.
