How does it work?

1. Contribute by making a gift in cash, securities, real estate, or planned gift.
2. Receive a tax deduction in the year you make the gift.
3. An annual distribution is made for the purpose that you have designated.
4. Because the principal remains intact, the fund will generate support in perpetuity.

Endowment Funds: An Act of Generosity and Vision

With a gift or gifts totaling $25,000 or more, you can establish an enduring, permanent endowed fund to provide a consistent flow of support to students and allow the university to plan into the future. When you establish the endowment, you can designate the annual distribution to fund
a scholarship, support an award or assistantship, or strengthen a department or program.
