Establishing an endowed fund is  a great way for those who support the Mount to ensure that their connection to  our school endures for generations.

An endowed fund is created when  the Mount receives a significant gift and is able to use the proceeds generated  by that gift to serve a designated purpose that you specify.  For instance, an endowed fund can support  students (through scholarships), faculty, programs or building  maintenance.

You can elect to establish an  endowed fund that provides support for the school in perpetuity or for a fixed  period of time, so that during that time, the gift amount and all earnings are  expended in accordance with the terms of the endowment so that no funds  remain.

Endowed funds can be established  in several ways, either singly or in combination with each other.  Among the options are:

• Donations of cash
• Donations of securities
• Establishment of a planned gift  (Please click on the link to our Planned Giving page to read more about  these options)
• A combination of these options

Endowed funds are typically named by the donor and are an excellent way to leave your legacy at the Mount.
