Endowments

An endowment is a financial gift that’s invested to meet a donor’s desire to make a difference on a permanent basis. The gift becomes part of the larger UNCG endowment, allowing the principal to earn interest to fund scholarships, program funds, professorships, and more. Because endowments are forever, the giver can give them an honorary name. Endowments may be established while you are living, or can be part of your estate.
