Support Whittier
Endowment
Gifts to the endowment at Whittier provide donors an opportunity to support the College beyond their lifetimes. Endowed gifts are not fully expendable; rather, they are invested in perpetuity to provide lasting support for a given purpose. Following the College’s approved spending policy, at the beginning of each fiscal year a percentage of earnings from the endowed fund is allocated for expenditure. Annual spending is generally less than fund growth so that the annual payout from an endowed fund will increase over time.
Individual donors who wish to establish a named endowed fund (i.e. named for themselves or for a significant individual in their life) may do so through a written agreement between the donor and the College with a minimum gift of $50,000.
