Create an Endowment
Establishing an endowment is a way to perpetually lend your support to Stephen F. Austin State University. Below are some frequently asked questions about endowments and their establishment. What type of endowment is it?
What will the name of the Endowment be? If you are creating the endowment in honor or memory of someone, let us know why. Please provide a brief description of who the person is and why he/she is important to you. What will the initial gift amount be, and when will it be given? Will other individuals be giving to this endowment?
What is the purpose of the endowment?
If the endowment is a scholarship, think about the criteria the recipient must have.
How are endowments managed? To ensure that an endowment produces sufficient funds in support of a particular area designated by the donor, both now and in the future, the Foundation has established minimum monetary support levels for various types of endowments. Types of endowments:
Fellowships/Assistantships Minimum endowment levels:
Endowed Scholarships Minimum endowment levels:
Professorship/Deanship/Academic Chair Minimum endowment levels:
Staff Positions Minimum endowment levels:
Lecture Series Minimum endowment levels
Research Funds - minimum endowment level of $200,000 Can an endowed gift be funded over a period of time? Endowed gifts can be created up to a five-year period with the ultimate goal of reaching the minimum level for that particular type of endowment. For instance, it takes $20,000 minimum to endow a scholarship. A donor may opt to pay $4,000 each year for five years to reach the scholarship endowment level. Once the minimum level is reached, additional contributions may be made at any time.
