They deliver a dependable, perpetual source of funding for scholarships, programs, faculty, and research. The WSU Foundation Endowment is composed of nearly 2,000 restricted funds established by donors for specific purposes, such as named scholarships or professorships. Endowed funds are unique in that the gift is invested. Each year, a percentage of the endowment\u2019s 36-month rolling average is distributed to benefit the University. The rest is re-invested to ensure growth, maintaining the fund\u2019s spending power far into the future. In this respect, an endowment is intended to be a perpetual gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will work with you to tailor an endowment that supports your goals.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/foundation.wsu.edu\/how-to-give\/endowed-gifts\/\">Learn more about how endowed gifts can build your legacy at WSU<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-accordion\">\r\n    <h3 id=\"unique-id-1__69090\" class=\"wsu-accordion__title\">\r\n        <button class=\"wsu-accordion__title-button wsu-accordion--toggle\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"unique-id-1__content\">Gift and Estate Planning<\/button>\r\n    <\/h3>\r\n    <div id=\"unique-id-1__content\" class=\"wsu-accordion__content\" aria-labelledby=\"unique-id-1__69090\">\r\n        <div class=\"wsu-accordion__content-inner\">\r\n            \n\n<p>By including WSU in your estate or financial plans, you will make a lasting difference, create a legacy and provide opportunities to future generations.
