Establishing a named endowment creates a path for Eastern Washington University students to earn life-changing degrees and go on to make a difference in their communities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>These named funds create an enduring legacy in honor of special people in our lives, while providing funding that supports high-quality, accessible programs that foster student success.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s how endowed funds work:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0These permanent funds are invested to generate earnings, paying out annual support in perpetuity that provides dependable funding for scholarships, fellowships, professorships, libraries,\u00a0programs\u00a0and other university needs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>This private philanthropy\u00a0provides transformational opportunities for students, including many who are the first in their families to attend college, and fills gaps that state funds do not cover.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Perhaps the\u00a0most rewarding aspect of\u00a0establishing\u00a0an endowment is that you are changing lives into the future – while honoring what you hold dear. Donors say they appreciate the opportunities Eastern provides for them to learn about the students they are helping, as well as the annual reports they receive about their endowed funds.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Eastern supporters create named endowments for multiple reasons, including:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The gift for endowment purposes can be cash or appreciated properties, such as securities, real estate, or tangible and intangible\u00a0personal property\u00a0acceptable to the foundation.

Your legacy gift provides annual funding for scholarships, fellowships, professorships, academic chairs, libraries and programs that serve as crucial elements in providing a first-class education.<\/p>\n Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of establishing an endowment is that it allows you to directly accomplish your philanthropic goals while helping EWU fund its initiatives. The reasons for creating a named endowment are varied: the satisfaction of supporting academic excellence; the gratification of furthering important research; the pleasure of honoring a spouse, family member or colleague in a way that is meaningful to him or her; or the comfort of memorializing a loved one with a living legacy. Additionally, creating an endowment may result in tax savings and other financial benefits that may enable you to give more than you might have thought possible.<\/p>\n The gift for endowment purposes may take any of several forms. It can be an outright gift of cash, or appreciated properties such as securities, real estate or tangible and intangible personal property acceptable to the Foundation. Endowments can also be created through a gift by will; a charitable trust or other life income plan; retirement plan assets; or an insurance policy.<\/p>\n Eastern Washington University\u2019s development staff is available to assist you in selecting a gift arrangement to best meet your financial and charitable goals.<\/p>\n\n
