You can help achieve the ongoing mission of Sister Cities International and the everyday work of citizen diplomats all around the world forever by making a gift to the Sister Cities International Foundation Legacy Endowment. 

An endowment is an enduring gift that provides income for years to come.  Sister Cities International Foundation established its Legacy Endowment to support the programs and services of today and into the future.

Endowments are like savings accounts.  Donations go into them and they stay in, invested permanently.  Only the income earned is annually used to fund our Sister Cities International programs and services.  Donors can endow a planned gift via a gift of cash, gift of stock or by making a special provision in their Will.

If you would like to designate an endowed gift to a specific purpose, the following Special Purpose Endowments have also been established:
