The University's endowment provides a permanent source of income for students, faculty and programs. Gifts to the endowment are invested, with a percentage of the income supporting programs targeted by the donors. The remaining income is reinvested, ensuring that the value of the donor's investment grows forever. The University is a good steward of its endowed gifts, and its investment strategy is a conservative one, designed to ensure that future generations get at least as much benefit from the endowment as current students do.
Endowments enhance the quality of programs in perpetuity.
