Endowments are gifts that keep on giving.
Because endowments provide a permanent source of funds, they can have a lasting effect, and thus, shape the future course of medical education, research and patient care. Endowments can be created through gifts of cash, appreciated securities or property, or be created through a will, trust, or other estate planning technique. Endowments are permanent and may be named by the donor to honor a loved one or family name.
