Black River Audubon Society Endowment Fund

Donations to the John Smith Endowment Fund #3 supports Black River Audubon now and in the future. The fund is managed by the Community Foundation of Lorain County and was generously created by Black River Audubon founder, John F. Smith.

Any amount is appreciated and will have a lasting impact on local conservation. Donations can be made here: https://lorain.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=2228

“Endowments are permanent funds where the principal is invested, while a portion of the fund is distributed annually to a variety of causes. Gifts are preserved in perpetuity, meaning they reach beyond a donor’s life to benefit our community forever.” -Community Foundation of Lorain County

Planned Giving to the Black River Audubon Society

The Black River Audubon Society unanimously voted to set aside all bequests, endowments, and other planned gifts in various available trusts in which nothing but the income generated would be used for support of the organization or designated programs. Benefactors thus would leave this world with a feeling that they made a gift that keeps on giving in perpetuity. Planned giving is for everyone; all ages and budgets.

Gifts can be in the form of cash, stock, mutual funds, bonds, or IRAs. Charitable giving through a planned gift to the Black River Audubon Society helps make sure that its mission to conserve habitats for wildlife and educate the public about birds will continue to thrive. No gift is too small and every gift is welcome.
