The College's endowment is actually many funds established by individual donors. The funds are grouped together for investment purposes in what is called the ”endowment.“ The College spends only a portion of the income from the endowment each year. Typically, the donors of an endowed fund specify what the income is to be used for, such as scholarships or faculty and staff support. Since endowment income is largely restricted, the College needs a source of unrestricted funds, like the Annual Fund, to meet needs not covered by the endowment or tuition.
