Endowments are the Gifts That Keep Giving

How to Fund an Endowment

You may fund an endowment with a current, or a deferred gift. A current gift of cash or assets (stocks) is one way to do the funding. A deferred gift (a bequest from your will or living trust) also works and will link your legacy to the future of Warwick Police Athletic League. To make a bequest you should contact your estate planner. It would be helpful if you also make Warwick PAL aware of the gift by making a pledge and emailing our executive director, Officer Russ Brown, at WPD-PAL@WarwickRI.com
