Endowments are a key way Universities support their mission. Endowments can be used to enhance student curriculum, fund equipment needs, or support faculty leadership of an important new program or scientific study.


An endowment can support a stellar faculty member, allowing them to devote more time to areas of excellence in which they have superior expertise, from teaching, to research to highly specialized care. Endowments can provide support for an ongoing program or specific area of research, or support implementation of a new initiative.


Donors can identify areas of their unique interest and designate their endowment to support a specific area in our education, research, care, or community missions.

Endowments also can be named to recognize the donor, to honor a special area of interest, or to celebrate a loved one, a mentor, a colleague or a treasured friend.
Each year, the University provides the donor with a report of progress for the endowment purpose.

Endowments may be designated to a particular school, institute, center, or program or to support the President’s Excellence Endowment Fund.

Endowment gifts are fully tax deductible but the specific tax and financial benefits a donor receives from their gift vary according to the type of asset you give and how you transfer your gift to the Health Science Center. You may be able to receive federal or state income tax benefits, avoid or reduce capital gains tax liability and qualify for estate or gift tax deductions. Donors are encouraged to discuss their plans with a trusted financial advisor or attorney to ensure maximum tax benefit for your personal circumstances.

An endowment is a permanent gift that provides one of the most secure sources of future revenue for this University to have cutting-edge research and vital support for students, faculty and programs.
 

Endowments are the most lasting way a donor can give. They forever benefit the missions of a university and ensure excellence in perpetuity. Endowments can be established to support student scholarships, recruit and retain distinguished faculty, provide lectureships, or enhance a world class research laboratory.


Strong endowments make great universities.
