    Policies for Endowment Funds at the Minnesota Historical Society


    The Minnesota Historical Society has developed policies to help ensure that its endowment funds are managed professionally and with utmost integrity. The Society seeks to be a careful steward of its endowment, always seeking to fulfill donors' wishes while providing for its long-term program needs. The guidelines below provide a framework for your endowment gift, but we encourage all donors to contact the Society directly about their gift.
