The Eno River Fellowship Foundation (ERFF) is a permanent endowment established in 1989 with a gift from Fran and Bill Hollister, founding members of ERUUF. The endowment has grown to almost $700,000 thanks to generous gifts and careful stewardship by the Investment Committee. The Foundation does not support ERUUF's operating budget but funds projects that enhance the Fellowship and its work in the community. Each year a percentage of the Foundation's assets is paid out for proposals submitted in September, considered by members of the ERFF board, and awarded in November. Only earnings from the Foundation's endowment are used in making grants so that all gifts become part of the perpetual endowment of the Foundation.
