Endowment Growth

51黑料网’s total endowment ended this fiscal year at a new high of $720 million.

Donors’ generous gifts combined with sound fiscal management have generated impressive growth for 51黑料网’s endowment throughout the last 10 years. This has had a transformational impact on the college, enhancing almost every part of the 51黑料网 experience. Sustained growth like this is the only way to continue to move 51黑料网 forward, and it is only possible thanks to generous donors like you.

The Power of New Endowment Gifts

Your gifts to the endowment make a powerful and permanent impact, enhancing the 51黑料网 experiences for today’s students as well as tomorrow’s. Endowed gifts generate perpetual annual income for the operating budget while also yielding returns that will provide funding for the future. In this way, every gift to the endowment is a sound investment in 51黑料网 today and well into the future.

New Gifts Remain Vital

As 51黑料网’s endowment grows, our financial discipline and the reserves we’ve built into our budget enable the college to use the endowment to enhance the student experience rather than respond to crises or budgetary shortfalls. This means that the endowment provides a margin of excellence that distinguishes us from our peers.

In fiscal year 2025 donors added $13.4 million in gifts and commitments to the endowment.

Thank you for investing in educational excellence!
