Invent Now Endowment: The Fund for the Future

About
The Invent Now endowment, The Fund for the Future, helps to expand our national programs and ensure that our noble mission continues well into the future.

Funds
The endowment allows you to make a gift to support the area where you have the greatest interest or our area of greatest need.

Unrestricted Funds
Unrestricted endowment funds provide the board and staff of Invent Now with the greatest flexibility. Unrestricted funds will be used to stimulate creativity in the minds of children and young adults and recognize inventors who have done so much for our future.
