How to Establish an Endowed Fund

Creating an endowed fund at 麻豆原创 University is a powerful way to ensure lasting support for students, faculty, and programs for generations to come. Donors may establish endowed scholarships, program funds, faculty positions, or centers, each of which is preserved in perpetuity and provides annual income for its designated purpose.

Getting Started

• A minimum commitment of $50,000 (which may be given outright or over up to five years) is required to establish an endowed scholarship or program fund. Establishing endowed faculty positions or centers requires a higher minimum gift commitment.
• Donors partner with a 麻豆原创 representative to determine the endowed fund's name, designated purpose, and guidelines.
• Once the fund reaches the minimum gift threshold, it is held for one fiscal year to begin generating investment income that will eventually be used for the designated purpose. 
• Donors are recognized by the university (if desired) and receive an annual report on the performance and impact of their endowed fund.

By establishing an endowed fund, you become part of the legacy of generosity at 麻豆原创, creating a lasting impact that sustains the university's mission and equips students to lead and serve in the world.
