Named Fund Makes Small Grants

You can easily leave your own special legacy at Landmarks. A gift of $25,000 or more can create a named fund. A gift of 50,000 can endow a Named Fund to support our mission and honor you or a loved one in perpetuity.

You can even defer establishing your fund by making Landmarks a beneficiary of your will, living trust, retirement plan or insurance policy, and there are creative ways to start your Fund in a way that can provide you with tax benefits and income for life.

Although the ultimate responsibility for allocating income from Landmarks’ endowment fund rests with Landmarks’ trustees, the Named Fund Program allows you to indicate to our Board of Trustees the interest areas where you would like annual income from your fund directed.

For example, Landmarks has used income from the Emma Ziegler and Mary DeWinter Funds to make small grants to the following organizations:

  • Allegheny Historic Preservation Society
  • American Farmland Trust
  • Beginning with Books
  • Bidwell Training Center
  • The Duquesne Incline
  • Burtner House Restoration Society
  • City Theatre Company
  • Cranberry Township Historical Society
  • Eldridge Street Synagogue
  • Emmanuel Episcopal Church
  • Friends of Fallingwater
  • Garfield Jubilee Association
  • Hosanna House
  • Manchester Citizens Corporation
  • Mars Historical Society
  • The Mattress Factory
  • National Aviary
  • PHLF Bridges of Pittsburgh
  • Pittsburgh Children’s Museum
  • Preservation Pennsylvania
  • Rachel Carson Garden (Homestead)
  • Rodef Shalom Biblical Botanical Garden
  • St. Clair Wright Scholarship Fund
  • St. Luke’s Church
  • Western Pennsylvania Conservancy
  • Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf

We are pleased to offer a Named Fund Program that gives our donors the opportunity to guide us on how to use their contribution in support of mutual preservation issues. Your Fund, once established, can also grow with additional contributions.
