The Latin American Educational Foundation (LAEF) established its endowment fund in 1999. Agency-advised funds and agency endowed funds are low-cost options that will invest a nonprofit’s funds for the future, supporting the organization’s mission – even if it changes with time. Over time, LAEF has received more money from the fund than what they’ve contributed, and without having to touch the original amount invested. This is possible because the original investment has continued to grow, ensuring long-term support for LAEF. The LAEF Endowment Fund is now the longest open agency fund at The Denver Foundation, and one of four endowed funds established by the Latin American Educational Foundation.
