What is Georgetown’s endowment spending policy and how is it determined?
The Subcommittee on Investments of the Board of Directors recommends the endowment spending (payout) policy. The payout of income from the endowment supports scholarships, faculty, research or programs according to donor intent. In fiscal year 2010, the Board of Directors authorized a spending policy that allowed for a payout of 5.75 percent of a weighted five-year average.
