An endowment fund is a permanent fundthat creates a sustainable flow of grant dollars forever. Through prudent investment, both the body of the endowmentand the distribution available for grantmaking increase over time.The <strong>Chester</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>Community</strong> Foundation has three unique features:local expertise about important projects and programs that are making a significant difference in <strong>Chester</strong> <strong>County</strong>;personalized service to donors who want to maximize the impact of their contribution; andcommunity convener for issues that benefit from partnerships.With the support of those who care about <strong>Chester</strong> <strong>County</strong>, we will continue to grow and enhance the quality of lifefor all of those who live and work in <strong>Chester</strong> <strong>County</strong>.
