Donations to the Youth Fund may be made by check or credit card, made
out to “Albion Community Foundation,” with the name of the fund on the
memo line of the check. Donations to an endowment fund are not
spendable
by the Foundation; they are added to the principle of the fund, which
is invested by ACF. A portion of the income generated from that
principle can be expended during the following year on the purposes
for which
the endowment was created.
The Albion Community Foundation was established in 1968 to improve the
quality of life for our citizens. The Foundation is a local nonprofit
organization providing donors a simple, powerful and highly personal
approach to giving — so their gifts do good works within the
community,
forever.
