Designated Funds Show You Care

Is there a local nonprofit you care deeply about? Setting up an endowed organization fund is an excellent way to support a cause. Fund creators leave legacies that will benefit their communities forever.

Ocracoke Fire Protection Association Fund was created by leaders of the Ocracoke Fire Department and Fire Protection Association, including Dick and Jane Jacoby, who have been key Association volunteers for decades. The fund is to be used for ongoing operating, capital, and/or program support for the Ocracoke Fire Protection Association. Because the fund is invested as an endowment, it will support the organization for generations into the future.

"It takes money to get things done," said Janey, the Fire Protection Association's secretary. "Running a fire department is not cheap."

The support of key volunteers and donors like Dick and Janey Jacoby makes organizations like Ocracoke Fire Protection Association possible. When you make an endowment gift, your gift is maintained in perpetuity and creates a lasting, meaningful difference.
