Geronimo Endowment Fund (GEF)
Purpose:
Grand Canyon Council has a strong commitment to ensure high quality camping facilities and outdoor adventures are available to all Scouts and desires to continue the operation of Camp Geronimo long into the future. Through the establishment of a permanently-restricted camp maintenance endowment fund, stakeholders (current and former Scouts, former summer camp staffers, and all who care about camp) can help cover the annual operating costs related to the operation of Camp Geronimo without ever decreasing permanent gifts made to this fund.
