The corpus stays untouched — and the cause lives on in perpetuity.

• You have a cause — a chair, a museum, a programme — that you wish to fund not once but in perpetuity.
• You want the corpus to stay untouched, with only its income at work.
• You want the cause to keep receiving support even once you are no longer here.

What the House does

The House builds a endowment fund in which the principal is preserved and only the income goes to the chosen cause. So the chosen endeavour — a chair, a museum, a programme — is funded in perpetuity and outlives the donor. The House builds the fund itself, its spending policy and its governance so that the corpus stays untouched across generations. The founding documents are drafted and executed by licensed counsel the House instructs. Counsel answers for the document; the House answers for the result.

• Choosing the jurisdiction and the form of the endowment fund for the chosen cause.
• Establishing the fund and fixing the cause — a chair, a museum, a programme — in its instruments.
• A spending policy: what counts as corpus, what as income, and how much goes to the cause.
• Setting the fund’s governance and reporting under a single mandate of the House.
• Binding the endowment to the rest of the family’s structure — the foundation, the succession, the constitution.

What you get: an established endowment fund with the cause fixed · a spending policy (what is corpus, what is income, how much goes to the cause) · governance and reporting set under the mandate of the House · a binding to the family structure

Why this way and not another

• A one-off gift covers the cause once, and the next year it stands without footing again.
• Without a spending rule the principal is gradually eaten away and the fund runs dry.
• Support for the cause rests on your personal involvement and ends along with it.
• There is no structure to separate corpus from income and carry it across the generations.

What worries you — and the House’s answer

• “The capital will be eaten away in time, and the fund will run dry.” — The spending policy is fixed: only the income goes to the cause, the corpus stays untouched by rule, not by goodwill.
• “After me the direction will be changed, and the money will go astray.” — The cause is fixed in the fund’s constitutive instruments, and governance is set to hold it.
• “Running the endowment will fall on the family.” — The fund’s governance and reporting are carried by the House under mandate, not by a staff the family must hire.

Where this leads

The chosen cause gains a footing in perpetuity: the corpus holds untouched, and its income goes year after year to the chair, the museum or the programme. Support ceases to depend on one-off gifts and on your personal involvement. And once you are no longer here, the endeavour goes on being funded — out of the capital you kept untouched for precisely that.
