WHAT IS THE
CHARITABLE TRUST?

The Charitable Trust is a 501(c)(3) corporation that has an Endowment Fund to support our NCSEA projects. An endowment fund allows for perpetual growth by investing your donation and the earnings are then dedicated to our State Projects and Programs deemed important in North Carolina.

The Endowment Fund was established in honor of North Carolina’s only Grand Exalted Ruler, Gerald Coates and his wife Lea.

WHY SHOULD YOU DONATE
TO THE ENDOWMENT FUND?

The Charitable Trust Endowment Fund’s sole purpose is to generate income as your donation is permanently invested.

Instead of your tax deductible donation being immediately spent, it is invested and the income generated from those investments are used for a wide variety of programs as directed by the North Carolina State Elks Association Charitable Trust Corporation. This allows for the long term continuity of our valuable charitable projects.

Donations can be made in honor of someone, upon request. Also, you can designate the Trust in your will and donations can be made from a traditional IRA using your Required Minimum Distribution.
