Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­

Double the impact of your endowed gift to Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­!

Through the Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ Endowment Matching Gift Program, donors can expand the long-term impact of their philanthropy while supporting the students, faculty and programs that define the Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ 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 Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­â€™s Board of Trustees on a case-by-case basis.

  • Donors designate 90 percent of their gift to an eligible endowed fund. Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ will match it dollar for dollar, doubling its impact.
  • The remaining 10 percent of the donor’s gift will be designated to the Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ Fund, which supports everyone and everything at Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­.
For example:
  • $100,000 gift
  • $90,000 endowed gift + $90,000 match = $180,000 for the endowment
  • $10,000 unmatched Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ Fund gift
  • $190,000 total impact
