Endowment

The FFI endowment

Help strengthen the long-term future of youth leadership through the FFI Endowment and the ’86 Society.

Make room for the young people who come next.

A lasting source of support

A young person should be able to take part in FFI because they are ready to learn, regardless of what their family can afford. An endowment helps sustain that commitment beyond a single appeal or program year.

Endowment gifts are invested to provide ongoing support for FFI, while annual donations help pay for current programs and operations.
