You may decide that you want it used to meet immediate top priority needs. Or you may prefer to designate it as an endowed fund. Choosing an endowed fund allows your contribution to become a permanent part of the University.
Endowed funds provide Western with a stable, reliable source of funding.

The annual income is used as you choose - to support scholarships or research, for a specific faculty or for he University as a whole. Thanks to Western's investment policies and expert advisors, your gift continues to benefit the University forever. Endowed funds may be names for you, or to honor a special person in your life - a family member, friend, or favorite professor, for example. There are many established endowed funds which you may also choose to support through your gift.
