Endowed giving is designed to provide a large and long-term base of constant support for the quality enhancement of the College of Education. The endowment program is based on the concept that gifts will be invested and only a portion of earnings (4%-6%) will be used to carry out the intention of the donor's gift. The amount of earnings to be spent will be determined through an endowment spending plan approved by the Auburn University Foundation Board of Directors. All of a portion of the income may be added to the principal as specified in the agreement approved by the donor and the university administration.  Endowment giving is a way to set-up permanent funding so therefore is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Endowment giving is also a permanent naming opportunity and can be established to reflect the name of the donor(s) or someone they wish to honor.
