All private and public funds received through grants, gifts, or donations shall be transmitted to the state treasurer, who shall credit the same to the fund in addition to moneys credited pursuant to subsection (1) of this section and any moneys that may be appropriated to the fund directly by the general assembly. All investment earnings derived from the deposit and investment of moneys in the fund shall remain in the fund and shall not be transferred or revert to the general fund of the state or any other fund at the end of any fiscal year. (2.5) Notwithstanding any provision of this section to the contrary, on June 1, 2009, the state treasurer shall deduct three hundred thousand dollars from the fund and transfer such sum to the general fund.
