Endowments
All endowment funds are placed in long-term accounts, where the principal remains intact. Funding from endowments is drawn from the earned interest.
Endowments offer the donor an opportunity to support an area about which they are passionate, and the funding source created by the endowment will continue for generations. Endowments can be created through a one-time payment or through installments over a 5-year period. The College of Liberal Arts benefits from several types of endowments.
