ENDOWED FUNDS AT ORCHARD
GRANTS Grants are short-term gifts from organizations for a specific purpose. In the past year, The Orchard School received $10,000 from the J.E. Fehsenfeld Family Foundation for teacher support, $10,000 from the Nicholas H. Noyes, Jr., Memorial Foundation in support of a parent education event with Lisa Damour, Ph.D., and a $30,000, three-year pledge from The National Bank of Indianapolis as the lead sponsor of The Dignity Center Presents speaker series over the next three years. We were also pleased to receive a $50,000 grant from the Efroymson Family Fund to refresh and renew our library collection. ENDOWED AND RESTRICTED USE FUNDS Endowed funds are gifts that provide continuity and growth; the principal balance grows over time and interest income is allocated annually according to board-approved policy or to a specific purpose (restricted) based on donor intent.
