Like all organizations and individuals with stock market investments, our endowment has experienced losses in 2008. Fortunately, our Board of Directors is committed to a long-term investment strategy, which makes short-term volatility less troubling. Supporting the Foundation’s endowment is a investment in the Johnson County Library’s future. Gifts to the endowment enrich the depth and breadth of the Library’s collection.

Endowment Balance: $963,896.02 (12/31/08; updated quarterly)
