Endowments

Endowed gifts are designed to provide benefits for Franklin College in perpetuity. Rather than the gift being spent immediately, the funds are invested in a diversified portfolio of investments. Each year the portfolio is valued and a portion of the earnings is used to fund particular programs or projects (for example, a scholarship). The remaining portion of the earnings is added to the principal of the endowment to protect against the erosion of inflation. An endowment could be established in your name or to honor or memorialize a student, family member, friend, favorite professor or classmate.
