What funds are included in our Endowment Pool?
The Endowment Pool includes all gifts, bequests, and other funds directed to be used to support a ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ program in perpetuity. Some donors require such a commitment as a condition of their gift. These donations are referred to as "true endowments." Other funds may be assigned to function as endowments by the Board of Curators or by ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ administration. These are referred to as "quasi endowments."
Examples of activities supported by true and quasi endowments include:
- chairs, professorships, and lectureships
- scholarships
- research support
