Endowment

Stage 9 is currently beginning the process of securing the long-term future of our organization through the building of an endowment.  Our current goal for endowment fundraising is $500,000 to fund a full-time staff position off of interest from the endowment.  To become self-sustaining on endowment interest, we would need to raise approximately two million dollars.  Our long-term goals for the endowment is to raise that amount to bring our organization to sustainability at our current annual budget.
