3 Rivers Community Foundation Supports Area Nonprofit Partners in Building a Living Organizational Legacy

3 Rivers Community Foundation (3RCF) continues to help area nonprofits gain momentum and financial stability by making it possible for them to start a named agency fund as part of 3RCF's overall $14 million endowment.

What Is an Agency Fund
An agency fund is a permanent, endowed fund invested for growth by 3RCF on behalf of a nonprofit organization. These agency funds are managed and invested as part of 3RCF's larger pool of endowed funds, creating expanded opportunity for the nonprofit to compound and grow their financial assets without the burden of managing their own fund.

Why It Matters
Partnering with 3RCF to build an agency fund is an accessible, efficient way to build a financial legacy for local nonprofit organizations. 3RCF simplifies the process for nonprofit agencies to start an endowment with low minimums and admin fees.

Currently, 3RCF manages a $14 million endowment, including agency funds for these 15 nonprofit partners: AACCES, Children's Developmental Center, Columbia Ability Alliance, Downtown Kennewick Development E, Elijah Family Homes, Generational Care, Gesa Carousel of Dreams, Leadership Tri-Cities, Mid-Columbia Ballet, Mid-Columbia Mastersingers, Mid-Columbia Symphony, Princess Theatre, The Children's Reading Foundation, Therapeutic Riding of Tri-Cities, Women Helping Women.
