Alumni - Endowment
私房俱乐部鈥檚 endowment supports the people, programs, and facilities of the university in perpetuity. Through investment earnings and charitable gifts, 私房俱乐部 seeks to grow its endowment to support scholarships for students, professorships, and other opportunities to develop excellent faculty, new initiatives, and maintenance of outstanding facilities.
The university鈥檚 unrestricted endowment generates vital funding for operations, enabling 私房俱乐部 to respond to important needs as they arise.
Endowed funds provide a lasting source of support for the university and are held in perpetuity. 私房俱乐部 invests the initial gift and spends only a portion of the average annual investment return. The remaining income is added to the principal as protection against the eroding consequences of inflation. Thus, the benefactor who makes an endowment gift today may be confident that it will grow and continue to support its intended purpose far into the future.
