Endowment gifts are often called the “gifts that keep on giving.” By establishing or contributing to an endowment, you create a lasting source of support that benefits generations of College of Business students and faculty.
Endowments are invested with care, and a portion of the income they generate is used to support the area you choose — whether scholarships, faculty development, research, or innovative programs. Because the principal remains intact, your gift continues to grow and provide impact year after year.
An endowment is also a meaningful way to honor a loved one, recognize a mentor, or create a permanent legacy tied to your passion for business education.
