History of the Endowment Fund
The Mineola Civic Center Endowment Fund was established by the Mineola Civic Center Board of Directors in 1980 to help ensure that Mineola Civic Center remains a vibrant asset now and for future generations. The Endowment Fund is managed by a group of local community professionals and volunteers, serving under the leadership of the Mineola Civic Center Board of Directors.
A small percentage of the proceeds are available for distribution annually, with the corpus invested in a conservative portfolio. Funds may be used for purposes identified and approved by the Mineola Civic Center Board of Directors, with priority given to major facility repairs and maintenance, and replacement of equipment and building systems. The secondary purpose of the Endowment Fund is for general operating support for the Mineola Civic Center.
Other gifts can be given to support the Endowment Fund, including stocks and investments, IRA Rollover gifts, bequests and other planned gifts, and in-kind donations. The Board of Directors reviews all gifts that are not cash, under the guidelines of the Mineola Civic Center Gift Acceptance Policy.
