Endowed Gifts

Your Gift Can Last Forever

Endowment gifts provide the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy. A gift to create an AAP endowment fund is invested wisely and the interest income supports the programs and initiatives of the Academy. The fund lives forever, ensuring its value for future generations. With your support, the AAP will be more effective in changing public policy, influencing research priorities, and disseminating education globally. Your endowment gift to the AAP will stand as a permanent statement of your commitment to children.

An Example of How It Works

Couple Smiling Longtime the American Academy of Pediatrics supporters Charlie and Susan have two goals: First, they want to make sure the AAP continues to receive support after they are gone. Second, they want to create a lasting legacy for Charlie’s parents.

Charlie and Susan make a $25,000 donation to the AAP, which we invest, and each year, a portion of the income from the invested money will be used to support our mission in honor of Charlie’s parents. Plus, Charlie and Susan qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction on their taxes.
