In 1999, the Board of Directors of RAMP established the Endowment Fund as a way to increase RAMP's independence and self-determination.

The interest income generated by the Endowment will be used to enhance the mission of RAMP by supporting continuation and growth of its core services. The principal will remain in the Fund. This allows today's gift to continue giving.

RAMP’s Endowment is separate and distinct from the annual operating budget of RAMP.

Types of gifts accepted to RAMP's endowment:

Cash and Securities You may make an outright contribution of cash and/or securities (stocks/bonds/mutual funds). A gift can be made on a periodic basis. Gifts of appreciated stocks or bonds often provide significant tax advantages for the donor.     Life Insurance You may consider making an outright gift of an existing life insurance policy or purchasing a new policy, designating it to the Endowment Fund, and naming RAMP as owner and beneficiary.     Bequests You may bequest by Will a gift to the Endowment. With this method, you have all of the enjoyment, use and disposition of the intended gift during your lifetime and at death it is used to support the work of RAMP.     Additional Gifts Every situation is unique and there may be additional giving options that can work specifically for you. For determining which types of gifts will most benefit you, we recommend you discuss all options with your financial advisor.
