Named Endowed Funds
Named endowments create a lasting legacy for the donor and provide permanent resources to benefit donor-designated areas of the University. Gift levels necessary to establish named endowments typically begin with a minimum gift commitment of $15,000. The fund's principal is invested and a portion of the fund's accrued interest (the percentage is set by the Truman State University Foundation Board of Directors) is used in support of the funds criteria.
