All gifts given to Heifer Foundation are invested in endowments, which are funds that provide operating income and program revenue every year in the future to Heifer International.  Endowment funds are carefully managed to protect the principal, which grows over time, to make increasing payouts to the Heifer mission of ending hunger and poverty and caring for the Earth. The perpetual nature of endowment funds allows you to express your lifetime values “through a gift that goes on giving” long after your lifetime.
