Endurance Funds
Give now and fund the future
With an Endurance Fund, you have a way to help the Cru missionaries and ministries you love persevere until the fulfillment of the Great Commission. Endurance Funds are focused, professionally managed endowments that yield annual funding for ministry while also preserving principal. These funds are like planting a fruit tree that yields a harvest year after year.
An Endurance Fund produces a dedicated income stream to ensure the long-term fruitfulness of the ministry or work of a missionary. It provides ballast during tough economic times and strength for seizing strategic opportunities during good economic times. It’s a way for you to help missionaries continue to run their race rather than face the loss of support on which they depend.
We can help you put together a plan for funding an Endurance Fund in stages with a combination of gifts now and a gift through your estate.
