An endowment is an invested pool of money that provides a reliable source of income in perpetuity. With appropriate investment and spending policies, the endowment’s purchasing power is preserved. An endowment that funds a scholarship or a program today will produce income to fund the same scholarship or program 20 years from now and beyond.

我为什么要创建捐赠基金?
An endowment gift can provide assurance that programs or initiatives that are important to you will survive. By creating or adding to an endowment for a designated purpose, you enable and obligate the university to carry out your expressed wishes, so long as it is practical and possible to do so. A restricted endowment ensures support for your priorities. Because an endowment gift is permanently invested, it can also serve as an enduring tribute to a loved one.

What size gift is required to establish an endowment?
The current minimum endowment level for a named scholarship is $50,000. A named endowed professorship requires a minimum gift of $250,000.

What giving options are there for making an endowment gift?
你 can give at the endowment level with a one-time gift or with a five-year commitment. 许多捐赠者的捐赠金额更大, 通常是通过有计划的赠送车辆, 比他们梦想的更有可能. 养老 gifts are sometimes the donor’s last (and largest) gift to the university. Donors can receive great satisfaction from making a significant contribution from assets accumulated over their lifetimes. 如果是延期计划的礼物, the gifts may be the donors’ final acts of contributing to the university.

How much support does an endowment provide each year?
The amount of investment return available for spending during a fiscal year is determined using a 5.0 percent 12 quarter moving market value average calculated on December 31 of the previous year. There are many factors that impact when and how much an endowment will allocate. A general rule of thumb is a fully funded $50,000奖学金捐赠将拨出2美元,500 after being invested for three full years.

我可以在现有的捐赠中添加吗?
是的. 你, 或者你的朋友和家人, can add to a named fund by simply identifying the fund as the object of the gift. It makes a handy vehicle for friends and family members who wish to make meaningful gifts to people who already have enough “stuff.”
