Endowment:
The NDAFP Foundation established an Endowment Fund in 2007 to provide a perpetual source of income for critical programs and services offered by the North Dakota Academy of Family Physicians Foundation. In 2012, we teamed up with the Dakota Medical Foundation (DMF) to both increase our visibility and to hopefully raise more funds as others become aware of our mission. The DMF-NDAFP Foundation Endowment Fund is a permanent fund that allows us to invest all tax deductible financial contributions and utilize the earnings to support the non-profit mission-driven activities NDAFPF provides. These include education, research, and operations, all of which depend on charitable contributions to continue to work.
The North Dakota legislature, in an effort to promote donations to charitable organizations, has provided the opportunity for donors in North Dakota to receive tax credits for gifts of $5000 or more made to qualified North Dakota endowments. This tax credit makes it possible for individuals and financial institutions to give more, and through their contributions, have a greater impact on the state’s quality of life. The following will demonstrate how to make your donation go farther.
