Endowment 
Building an endowment is critical to help secure the long-term financial stability of Stan Hywet and ensure its continued programmatic relevance. The endowment is a permanent asset that is invested to provide an income stream for the museum and gardens on an annual basis. It is the bedrock of the institution’s fiscal health.
