Endowments as financial investments in A.T. Still University

Endowments: A cornerstone of A.T. Still University

What are endowments?

Endowments are gifts that 'keep on giving.' Endowments are financial gifts of money, property, or other resources to a university that are then reinvested, so they can grow over time. They are investments in an institution's future and ensure that a charitable action has ramifications for years to come. Often they are useful long after the giver and the original recipient have passed away. They ensure stability of funds for the university, if wisely invested, and enable the value of monetary gifts to be maintained, as the financial value of the gift keeps pace with inflation.
