Safe Passage’s endowment was established in 2007 to honor the vision of its late founder Hanley Denning, and to ensure the long-term sustainability of our community-centered work.
The endowment includes a permanent fund, of which the principal remains untouched, and a board-restricted fund, which may be accessed under very limited governance policies to strengthen our organization and impact. Income generated from the interest on the endowment currently provides approximately 3–5% of Safe Passage’s annual operating funds, and ensures a reliable and steady source of support amid changing economic conditions.
By strengthening the endowment, Safe Passage is building the financial resilience needed to sustain and deepen its impact—supporting students, educators, and families while maintaining the stability essential to long-term community transformation.
Margaret Downing Long-time Supporter & Emeriti, —”I feel truly honored to be part of Safe Passage. Over nearly two decades, I’ve seen firsthand the tangible, generational impact of their work. I am inspired by the students and their families and know the next decades will bring even greater change that will be driven by student leaders. Being part of this mission has been deeply rewarding, and I take pride in supporting such meaningful change that goes far beyond my life span.”
