EndowmentsThe nation’s best universities also are its best endowed universities. Endowments provide an institution financial strength, enabling it to make strategic investments in people and undertake important initiatives. By producing income in perpetuity, endowed gifts are critical to the long-term success of the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. An endowment is a fund of money in which the principal is held in perpetuity and invested, and from which an organization may use only the return on investment. The Arizona State University Foundation manages the Cronkite School’s endowment funds. The ASU Foundation’s current endowment policy stipulates that an endowment fund pays out 4 percent of its principal, with any additional income returned to the principal to offset the effects of inflation. Through the generosity of many thoughtful donors and the competent fund management of the ASU Foundation, the Cronkite School has built a $5 million endowment. The school’s leadership has set a goal to triple the endowment size by 2012. By creating an endowment and investing in the Cronkite School’s future, donors make a difference that will last beyond their lifetimes. For the donor, endowing a faculty position, student scholarship or academic program provides a concrete, permanent link to the continued academic excellence of the Cronkite School.
