Endowed Funds
Endowed funds provide permanent, ongoing support for College of Saint Mary. When an endowed fund is established, the principal is invested, and only the income earned each year is used to support its designated purpose. This ensures that your gift continues to benefit students and programs year after year.
Endowed funds can support:
- Scholarships
- Academic programs
- Faculty and leadership positions
- Missionโdriven initiatives
- Other College priorities
Through endowed giving, College of Saint Mary is able to strengthen programs and services beyond what tuition alone can support, creating stability and opportunity for future generations of students.
