The Crisp Point Endowment Fund

An endowment fund is a pool of financial assets established by a nonprofit organization, such as a charity or educational institution, to provide long-term financial support. The principal amount is kept intact while the investment income is used for specific purposes, such as funding programs or initiatives. Donations to endowment funds are typically tax-deductible.

The Crisp Point Endowment Fund has been created at the Paradise Area Community Foundation, which is an affiliate of the Community Foundation of the Upper Peninsula. The purpose of the Crisp Point Fund is to provide funds for the restoration, operation, and maintenance of the Luce County owned or Crisp Point Light Historical Society owned or leased buildings and grounds at Crisp Point, such as but not limited to boardwalks, parking lots, stairways, lighthouse and service building, Visitor Center, and erosion control measures (such as but not limited to large rocks and vegetation); to provide funds for educational or historical programs, such as but not limited to interpretive signs and exhibits; to provide funds for future buildings, such as but not limited to rebuilding of the former Life-Saving Station Building and the Lighthouse Keepers Living Quarters.
