ENDOWMENTS
The endowments managed by the DSU Heritage Foundation under the College on The Hill Endowments and the Blue Hawk Scholarship Fund provide long-term scholarship and program support. Currently the Foundation manages over $19.50 million dollars in endowments that provide scholarship to support Dickinson State University students including all disciplines, athletics, extra-curricular activities, and other areas of interest. Endowment funds have a minimum contribution of $25,000.
WHAT IS AN ENDOWMENT?
An endowment fund is a permanent fund in which the spendable amounts are based on the earnings the principle generates. Despite the specific use of an endowment, all funds have a common objective - to provide support not just for one year, or one generation, but in perpetuity. These earnings are then calculated with a 3-year rolling average to assure consistency and provide income even in down years.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF
ESTABLISHING AN ENDOWMENT?
Creating an endowment provides an opportunity for one to fulfill their own personal philanthropic goals while helping to support the needs and mission of Dickinson State.
​
Endowments may be established for many reasons including:
permanently honoring a loved one or mentor,
saying "thank you" for an education,
celebrating personal and professional accomplishments,
perpetually supporting educational excellence at Dickinson State University,
assisting today's students in becoming the leaders of tomorrow,
and leaving a permanent legacy.
​
Endowments offer many benefits to the donor in the form of tax savings under both state
and federal laws. Depending on the type of asset given and the type of gift arrangement selected, it is possible to enjoy current savings on income taxes and gift/estate taxes.
HOW DOES DSU BENEFIT
FROM ENDOWMENTS?
Endowments allow Dickinson State University to create and maintain excellence in academics beyond what can be accomplished from state funding.
Endowments:
-
support scholarships,
-
provide faculty teaching and research support such as funds for faculty chairs, distinguished professorships, visiting professorships, or lectureships;
-
enhance academic and/or program support such as named centers, institutes, departments, or colleges;
-
assure unrestricted support providing funds to allow Dickinson State University to address new and emerging strategic priorities in the future - which may be unanticipated today.
