AN ENDOWED FUND ALLOWS DONORS TO FUND A CAUSE IN PERPETUITY

The Mahtomedi Area Educational Foundation (MAEF) manages endowed funds created by individuals, families, community groups, and the MAEF Board of Trustees. Endowed funds require a minimum-balance, non-revokable gift that is managed by MAEF and invested with our local Thrivent Wellspring Advisor Group. Donors lay out their wishes in a fund agreement, and MAEF manages and disburses funds in accordance with these wishes.

Contact MAEF to discuss your giving goals and learn about opportunities at: info@maefgives.org or 651-407-2016.
