Endowed Gifts
Your Gift Can Last Forever
An endowment gift to Gonzaga University today provides a brighter picture for our future. When you make a donation to our endowment, you give a gift with both immediate and long-term benefits.
Endowment donations are invested. A portion of the annual income from the investment is used to address immediate needs at Gonzaga. The remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support.
An Example of How It Works
Long-time supporters Susan and Charlie want to make sure Gonzaga University continues to flourish long after they're gone. They also want to memorialize Charlie's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jones. So they make a $50,000 donation to Gonzaga University, which we invest. Each year, a portion of the income from the invested money will be used to support our mission in honor of the Joneses. The rest of the income is reinvested in the fund; that's what allows it to support us indefinitely. Susan and Charlie qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction on their taxes.
