How is the Boniuk Center funded?
The Boniuk Center for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance was established at Rice University with a $5 million endowment gift from Dr. Milton and Laurie Boniuk in April of 2004. Our basic operating budget comes from the interest earned on that endowment. That income provides funding for our current salaries, lecture costs, publicity, and some of our other activities. The Center also seeks donations from individuals, foundations and corporations, as well as additional major gift and endowment funding to support on-going projects, grassroots efforts and future initiatives.
