The Permanent Endowment Fund for Martha’s Vineyard (The Endowment) is dedicated to improving the quality of life across the Island. Since its founding as a public charity in 1982, The Endowment has channeled its financial resources to Island causes, nonprofits and students, while building and prudently stewarding an endowment to serve as a source of funding for the Island’s future needs. The Permanent Endowment Fund for Martha's Vineyard has now changed its structure, and is now known as the Permanent Endowment for Martha's Vineyard, Inc. (Martha's Vineyard Community Foundation).
