ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ Endowment Matching Gift Program
Double the impact of your endowed gift to ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ!
Through the ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ Endowment Matching Gift Program, donors can expand the long-term impact of their philanthropy while supporting the students, faculty and programs that define the ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ experience. The University’s Board of Trustees has committed $5 million in matching funds, available through August 31, 2029, or until all funds are committed.
How the Match Works
Gifts and pledges of $25,000 to $500,000 are eligible for the Endowment Matching Gift Program. Matches to gifts of more than $500,000 may be considered by ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æâ€™s Board of Trustees on a case-by-case basis.
- Donors designate 90 percent of their gift to an eligible endowed fund. ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ will match it dollar for dollar, doubling its impact.
- The remaining 10 percent of the donor’s gift will be designated to the ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ Fund, which supports everyone and everything at ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ.
For example, a gift of $100,000 would provide $90,000 for a designated endowed fund and $10,000 for the ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ Fund. ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ would match the endowed portion with an additional $90,000—creating $190,000 in total impact.
