Endowment Giving

Gifts to the Endowment support scholarships, faculty, and program needs in perpetuity. By establishing a newly endowed fund, you can permanently sustain the University's mission and honor deserving individuals or organizations.

Invested wisely, the Endowment is a permanent body of funds that generates interest income. Gifts to the Endowment can be restricted, or designated, for a specific program or can be undesignated so that the University can choose how and when to use the interest funds.

The Board of Trustees determines annually the amount of investment earnings to be disbursed from endowment funds. That rate is generally between 4 and 6 percent.
