What is an Endowment?

What is an Endowment? An Endowment is a fund of money in which the principle is permanently restricted and cannot be spent. A portion of the fund's annual investment earnings (typically 4 - 6%), are devoted to current needs, while the remainder is reinvested in the fund. Thus, a well managed Endowment can continue to grow, both by conservative management, and new contributions. The larger the accumulated fund, the greater the stream of income available annually to fund important programs for the institution. To view the Endowment Flow Chart, click here.

We have currently raised: $2,769,892! This includes a generous $1 million Alumni Matching Grant toward which we have raised $132,805. (updated 9/14/2009)
