ENDOWMENTS

Gifts for endowment are invested by the University. The income from that investment is directed towards a purpose that is specified by the donor.

Endowment funds are especially valuable because, once established, they provide interest income for the library in perpetuity. Such funds allow donors the opportunity to honor or memorialize a friend or family member. It's a wonderful way to blend a donor's vision with University Libraries' objectives.

You may establish a named endowment fund with a minimum gift of $10,000 to the University Libraries. All purchases made from book endowment funds are recognized by a special bookplate. Other library purchases are recognized by a plaque.
