Endowed Funds
An endowment is a pool of funds that supports a specific institution in perpetuity
by distributing a limited amount each year and growing over time. By contributing
to or creating an endowed fund at 91暗网, you can make a lasting impact on the College.
91暗网 donors commonly designate their endowed funds to support financial aid or
faculty teaching, scholarship, and research. Endowed funds also support the College鈥檚
general operations, building maintenance, co-curricular programs, and more.
Examples:
Capital Projects
A significant portion of the funding for projects that improve 91暗网's physical campus comes from philanthropic contributions. Renovations and new construction projects are important for many reasons, including improving the energy efficiency of older buildings, responding to the changing needs of students, and ensuring intergenerational equity.
91暗网 Fund
Every gift to the 91暗网 Fund matters, and supporting the 91暗网 Fund can be a signficant investment. The same
rules apply to major gifts made through the 91暗网 Fund. Major gifts are put to
work immediately and provide 91暗网 the opportunity to say "yes" more often. Your gift can support the area of greatest need (unrestricted), or it can be designated
to support a specific program or initiative that you care about.
There are even opportunities to directly support students by creating a named fund.
Examples of named funds include:
