Everything you need to know before giving.
What is the NAKA Endowment Fund?
How will the Endowment be managed?
The $1M will be invested in a low-fees S&P 500 fund, which has typically returned about 6.25%. That yields about $250,000 in gains every four years.
How will the gains be used?
A major portion will be given to the Sammelan host committee as NAKA’s contribution, significantly reducing the committee’s fundraising burden.
Why should I contribute?
It’s our contribution to an institution that will sustain our present and next generation. We owe it to ourselves to make this noble donation.
How much is expected from me?
Do I get a tax break?
Yes — NAKA is a 501(c)(3) IRS-approved organization. Please consult your tax advisor for your specific situation.
