Long Term Support – Endowment Fund
The Rochester Oratorio Society is fortunate to have a small Endowment Portfolio managed by the Rochester Area Community Foundation (RACF). Gifts to the Endowment are held in perpetuity, supporting our work each year by the income they provide.

The Community Foundation also offers a Pooled Life Income Fund and a Charitable Gift Annuity Fund for those who would like to make a long term, planned gift to the ROS. These funds allow for income distributions to the benefactors during their life. Principal reverts to the Endowment Fund at passing. Legacy gifts through your will are always appreciated and recognized. Learn more about planned giving here.
