Lynden Pioneer Museum

What is an Endowment?



An endowment is an amount of money (fund) that is given to the Museum with a stipulation that the funds are invested to earn annual interest rather than spent immediately. A portion of the annual earnings is used to fund improvements to the museum. The rest of the earnings are reallocated back into the fund’s principle to insure that the endowment continues to grow and yield more interest for future improvements and support.

The Lynden Pioneer Museum Endowment Fund is managed by the LPM, chartered as a non-profit corporation of the State of Washington. Contributions to the fund are tax-deductable under section 509(a)2 of the Internal Revenue Code. Please take a moment and contact us for more information about the gift that keeps on giving.
