An endowment is a fund that permanently supports an initiative chosen by the donor.
The endowment principal remains intact in perpetuity, while its earned interest provides
funds as designated by the donor that serve as crucial elements in student and faculty
recruitment and retention.
Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of establishing an endowment is that it allows you
to directly accomplish your philanthropic goals while helping the college fund its
initiatives.
How to Create an Endowment in Four Easy Steps:
1. Give Us a Call
Start by contacting usto discuss your charitable or estate-planning goals.
2. Decide on the Type and Purpose of your Fund
There are several endowment types to choose from that allow you to give in a way that
is most meaningful to you. Examples are funds for the area of greatest need, scholarships,
fellowships, academic programs, laboratories and facilities, professorships, and chairs.
3. Determine When and How Much to Give
Minimum gift levels for the various types of endowments are listed below. Pledge payment
schedules can be set up for three to five years.
4. Name Your Fund
Many donors choose to name their fund with their name, their family's name, or as
a memorial to a loved one. If you wish to remain anonymous, we suggest you select
a name that reflects your fund's academic goal.
It's That Simple!
Once the gift agreement is signed and the endowment is funded, annual payouts from
the earnings will be used toward the stated purpose and will continue in perpetuity
while leaving the principal intact. We will send you fund activity reports annually
to keep you informed.
A planned gift is any major gift, made in one's lifetime or at death, which is part
of a donor's overall financial and/or estate planning. They are crucial investments
in the future of our college, and provide an opportunity for you to leave a lasting
legacy.
Gifts may be unrestricted to benefit the entire college, or may be designated to support
the department or initiative of your choice.
