Quasi Endowment
On February 12, 2009, the Board of Trustees of Mo`olelo established a quasi endowment fund. While not a technically restricted account, the purpose if the quasi endowment is to earmark funds that we fully intend to only retain and invest rather than spend on current projects. Pursuant to our written investment policy, our quasi endowment is invested in a Morningstar top rated and performing moderate allocation mutual fund. We invite you to consider earmarking a portion of your donation to our quasi endowment investing in the future of Mo`olelo.

Planned Giving
At Mo`olelo, we believe that we create a partnership and a collaboration with our artists, our audiences, and our donors. We understand that your donation is a thoughtful representation of your trust in our vision and our integrity. Planned giving is the process that considers the effects of the gift not only on Mo`olelo but also on your estate. If you are interested in making a long-term planned gift to the company, please contact our office at (619) 342-7395 and we can refer you to appropriate resources and work closely with you and your donor advisor to craft a giving plan that honors you and your family.
