CCHS Endowment Fund: Ensure a Future for Carver County's Past

Become a member of the Jonathan Carver Circle
In 1989, a $7,000 bequest from Gustav Denin became the seed money for the Historical Society's endowment, which helps support programs, services, and special projects. The endowment fund is a pool of money that is invested and managed by the Minnesota Community Foundation. The endowment's principal is invested to create income for the Historical Society. The Jonathan Carver Circle recognizes donors who help ensure the future of Carver County's past with a significant gift to the fund. There are two ways to become a member:
  • Make a contribution of $5,000 or more to the Carver County Historical Society, or
  • Include CCHS in your planned giving
