Perhaps the most complicated and often asked questions. Gifts made towards the Endowment are invested for growth. Gifts towards capital needs go to the fulfillment of a particular project, like the recent funding of the campus dining hall. Neither relieve the annual budget. Those gifts made to the Annual Fund help fulfill the difference between how much the college reaps from the endowment towards the current fiscal year’s budget, and how much it needs.
