Endowment Gifts

An endowment gift to CCS is a meaningful way to honor someone and leave a permanent legacy. Endowed funds can be established with a gift commitment of at least $25,000 (payable over a maximum of five years), which will generate funds to support an annual scholarship award in perpetuity.

Gifts from family and friends can be combined and used to create a new fund; the endowed fund requires a memorandum of agreement with a signatory responsible for the commitment.

Endowed Scholarships
Established with a suggested minimum gift of $25,000; the principal value which is never spent and exists in perpetuity. After the minimum gift value is received, a corresponding spending account is then created, and this account supports award distribution in the name of the Endowed Scholarship. Awards would begin to be awarded between 6 and 18 months after the minimum gift value has been received by the College. Donors can direct their endowed scholarship to benefit a particular department or minimum GPA, etc. The principal is never spent and exists in perpetuity.
