  • Building a Better World
    The PCEI Board of Directors established the Endowment Trust Fund in 2000 to demonstrate PCEI’s ongoing commitment to our community. The Endowment allows donors a tangible way to express their commitment to PCEI’s mission into the future. The PCEI Endowment is an open account composed of gifts of cash, stocks and bonds, and life insurance, held in perpetuity for permanent use by PCEI.

    Gifts to the PCEI Endowment are investments in our community’s future. The Endowment portfolio is managed by the PCEI board in consultation with a financial advisor who monitors the performance of socially responsible funds. A portion of the income generated by the portfolio supports PCEI projects each year.

    A gift to the PCEI Endowment endorses this organization’s commitment to our values of
    connecting people, place and community. Your gift will help the Palouse-Clearwater
    Environmental Institute:
    • Protect local ecosystems
    • Educate children and adults about environmental issues
    • Design effective solutions to local issues

    “We have long supported PCEI‘s fine effort in bringing diverse groups and individuals together to improve our local environment and sense of community. By giving to the Endowment, our contribution will fund this work into the future.”
