Endowments: A Ray of Hope

Turn on a flashlight at night and you will see a beam of light cutting through the darkness. Shine it out ahead of you and various objects will appear. The light shows you where to go and how to get there.

Some flashlights are tiny and use only a single watch-sized battery. Others are powered by five or more D-cells. And, of course, there are large searchlights that have the capacity to send beams of light far into the distance.

Each endowment here at The Able Trust is like a beam of light casting rays of hope. Some endowments are larger than others, but all illuminate the darkness and give us the confidence we need to move ahead.

Endowments are created by individuals who care about tomorrow. These perpetual funds provide a steady stream of financial help to underwrite programs, personnel and facilities. They brighten the future with hope.

You can use current assets to establish an endowment now, or you can create one later through an estate gift. Your endowment can bear your name and provide an ongoing legacy, or you can honor a family member or someone else who has impacted your life.

Once established, your "ray of hope" will continue in perpetuity, providing encouragement and financial resources for generations of Floridians with disabilities.
