Permanent Endowment Fund

With the help of its friends and supporters, Historic Fort Wayne, Inc. has established a Permanent Endowment Fund.

This Fund will never be depleted, only the earnings on these funds will be utilized and then only for the maintenance of the facility and for educational programming.

When not required the earnings on these funds will be added back to the principle of the Endowment upon their release by the Board of Directors.

Historic Fort Wayne, Inc.'s plan is to always accept contributions to this Endowment, conservatively invest the principle, and ultimately have this Fund guarantee the Fort's existence in perpetuity.
