It’s no accident that many of the nation’s best universities also have the largest permanent endowments. Endowed funds provide a predictable, annual stream of income that enables the institution to make strategic investments in people and programs for the long term.
The ASU Foundation encourages donors to consider endowment gifts for one of the following purposes:
- Scholarship or graduate fellowship — $25,000 minimum
- Endowed professorship — $500,000 minimum
- Endowed faculty chair — $2,000,000 minimum
- Dean’s chair — $3,000,000 minimum
- Presidential Chair — $5,000,000 minimum
- Program endowment — starting at $10 million
The foundation’s endowment management ensures that every endowment principle produces the maximum enduring benefit to the purpose you have specified.
We strive to be good stewards of your confidence and commitment, providing you with timely reports on endowment performance and accomplishments. As an endowment donor, of course, you can request information on your endowment at anytime.
