began with $7,500 in November 2015 when Dr. Alice White established and funded the Endowment with The Community Foundation in Kerrville, Texas, to provide management of the Endowment.

WHY: The Endowment in Perpetuity means support forever to achieve Friends' mission: "Preserving the past to enrich the future". Two factors contribute to long-term success: financial stability and members. An Endowment promotes financial stability and membership growth.

HOW: Even though the Endowment is supported by the Friends, our need to prioritize spending with limited funds means we function much like our fathers: we pay ourselves first by putting something into the Endowment each year, but the amount varies according to funds.
