Contribute to or Create an Endowment
Funding an endowment is one of the most selfless and charitable acts of philanthropy. It is the gift that keeps on giving. The interest generated by our endowments is used for the purpose that you wish to support. A portion of the income is re-invested each year to ensure that the endowment continues to grow and provide a stable stream of support over time.
You may contribute to the Davis Farmers Market Alliance Fund that is already established at the Yolo Community Foundation thanks to the generous support of donors or create your own named fund to support us. You can make a one-time gift, a series of gifts, or a pledge paid over a period of years to fund the endowment. Please contact Davis Farmers Market Alliance to discuss your ideas regarding endowments.
You can help us provide delicious, fresh foods to our community for generations to come.
With your support we will continue to educate and engage the public about nutrition, sustainable agriculture, and the economic value to our area of buying locally grown food and locally sourced products directly from growers and artisans.
As with any decision involving your assets, we urge you to seek the advice of your professional counsel when considering a gift to the Davis Farmers Market Alliance.
