"The AYCF award gave us the credibility to pursue further sources of funding. Your initial donation served as a sort of approval stamp and made it easier to raise additional money."

Endowment

As a funding organization, AYCF sometimes is made aware of a need for a significant contribution to jump-start a program or organization, or to help dramatically increase a program’s impact. These needs do not exist on an annual basis, and are usually one-time contributions on AYCF’s part. Contributions to AYCF’s endowment enable AYCF to be able to exercise it’s judgement to fund these extraordinary, vital requests to nurture and expand the community that cherishes and stewards the Chesapeake Bay.

Endowment contributions can be made through a variety of financial mechanisms, including estate planning and can be made at any time. For more information about endowment contributions, please contact the AYCF at Contributions@aycfoundation.org
