A Legacy of care
The Shaker Village Endowment provides dependable, long-term support for the preservation and stewardship of Pleasant Hill. Through a carefully managed annual distribution, the endowment helps sustain the work that cannot be delayed or deferred, ensuring this remarkable place remains cared for regardless of year-to-year fluctuations in revenue.
The Endowment
Endowment support helps provide for the ongoing needs of the Village, including:
- Historic Preservation and Building Care
- Education and Interpretation
- Agricultural Operations
- Stewardship of the Natural Landscape
More than a source of financial stability, the endowment creates opportunity. When essential needs are supported through endowed funds, annual gifts can go further, helping expand programs, enhance guest experiences and create new ways for individuals and families to connect with Pleasant Hill.
Creating a Lasting Legacy
Whether you choose to give today or through a future planned gift, your support can help preserve Shaker Village for generations to come. By including Shaker Village in your will, trust, retirement account or other estate plan, you can create a lasting legacy for Pleasant Hill.
A gift to the endowment continues working long after it is made, helping protect the Village's historic structures, preserve its landscape and advance its mission for years to come.
Growing the endowment is one of the most meaningful ways to ensure Pleasant Hill remains cared for, protected and inspiring for generations to come.
How an Endowed Gift Creates Ongoing Support
Because endowed funds are invested for the long term, a gift can provide annual support year after year while the principal remains invested.
