Directed Endowments

Endowment funds may be directed to specific programs of the hospital such as cancer, child abuse, or nursing scholarships or may be established to support patient care overall.

Named endowment funds at CHKD are established with a minimum gift of $25,000 and may be funded with outright gifts of cash, securities, or other assets, or through a donor’s estate.

"I bequeath to Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters, 601 Children’s Lane, Norfolk, VA 23507, the sum of __________________________ dollars ($_____________) to establish an endowment, name of endowment , with the annual income going to support and benefit the _______________________________________ program."

How It Works

Endowment funds are invested carefully, with the income earned used to support the program(s) designated by the donor. As the principal of the endowment is never spent, the fund provides a perpetual stream of income for the desired program or service at CHKD, allowing us to plan for the future with strength and security.

Here’s how it works:

  • Donor establishes endowment with CHKD
  • Investment dollars added to investment portfolio
  • Investment earns income annually
  • CHKD receives set percentage annually
  • Excess earnings are reinvested
