Endowments Endowments create the foundation upon which universities build lasting financial strength and ensure academic quality. Once in place, endowments provide permanent support for teaching and research, student aid, and an abundance of other academic programs and activities. With a minimum $15,000 commitment, you can create an endowment that will bear your name – or the name of someone you wish to honor. Donors have two years to bring a fund to the endowed level. Based on The Ohio University Foundation’s spending policy, 5 percent of the endowment’s total value will be made available for expenditure each year (e.g. $750 from a $15,000 endowment). These dollars can support scholarships, equipment and software upgrades, student research, and more. Distribution of funds will be subject to a specific set of guidelines formulated by The Ohio University Foundation in conjunction with you, the donor. Many special programs have specific endowment requirements, such as: Named Professorships, $250,000 minimum; Cutler Scholarships, $400,000 minimum; and Endowed Chairs $1 million minimum. Multi-year pledge payment schedules can be arranged. For information on establishing an endowment, please contact: Office of Development
