46th Annual Rundstrom 2-Person Golf Tournament

Transfer of Wealth in Marion County
Marion County anticipates a major generational wealth transfer, mirroring a statewide trend involving hundreds of billions over the coming decades. Retaining even a small fraction of this wealth through a local community foundation offers a powerful opportunity to benefit the community for generations.

The Power of an Endowment
An endowment is a gift that keeps on giving. It’s like planting a seed that grows into a mighty tree, providing for generations to come. The principal is invested, and the earnings are used to support a designated cause, ensuring a perpetual source of funding. This enduring power allows endowments to fuel innovation, advance knowledge, and uplift Hillsboro far beyond the initial investment.
