ENDOWED FUNDS
An endowment is a self-renewing resource that the University holds in perpetuity and does not spend. Endowed gifts are invested, and the earnings from these investments help fund our long-term programs and services for all.

MATCHING GIFTS
Many employers offer matching gift programs to their employees. Eligible donors for a corporate match may include retired employees, spouses of employees, or widows/widowers of former employees depending on the organization’s giving policy. Your company may match, double, or even triple your initial gift and significantly increase our impact. See if your employer will match your gift.
SPONSORED EVENT
Sponsoring a dinner following an exhibition opening or a VOICES Lecture Series dinner is a fantastic way of connecting with our community of artists, faculty, students, and other supporters of contemporary art.
