Mayhew Endowment
Generous members of the Mayhew community have established funds to support the program and the boys in perpetuity. Overseen by the Board of Trustees’ Investment Committee, contributions to Mayhew's endowment are invested to yield a reliable and stable source of annual income, as well as a safety net for future unexpected challenges.
Each year Mayhew draws 4.5% of the endowment’s average value to support current program operations.
