 Kent-Sussex Industries
Kent-Sussex Industries is dedicated to “Building the Future” for
individuals with special needs by providing rehabilitation services
and employment training. This nonprofit agency is connecting about
280 individuals with the community through the businesses it runs
and the work crews it places with area employers.
To make certain that future generations will also
have the specialized assistance they need to obtain and maintain an
optimal level of employment, KSI established an endowment fund at
the Delaware Community Foundation in 1989 and is continuing to build
the fund.
“The DCF was offering something extremely important
to nonprofits,” says CEO Clifford T. Crouch, “and our Board of
Directors understood the need for the fund.”
Although nonprofit agencies are offered gift
planning services through the DCF, KSI decided to institute its own
planned giving program a few years ago. The agency actively
cultivates donors and has built an endowment of more than $75,000
(through 2001) to help secure its financial future.
KSI is among close to
100
nonprofit organizations that have established endowment funds at the
DCF. We are helping them achieve the financial stability
needed to carry out their missions forever. Some of these agencies
also have funds at the DCF that help them meet more immediate needs
or provide scholarships. |
