Temple Emanu-El Endowment Fund
The Temple Emanu-El Endowment was established in 2007. The Endowment Fund invests the assets it has been entrusted with to support the mission and vision of Temple Emanu-El for present and future generations. Over the 17 years of the Endowment, the fund has grown an average of 3.3% and has provided the Temple with approximately $230,000. All of this was accomplished with only one small stock donation added to the initial $500,000.
