Gifts and Endowments
Gifts to Marymount University are designated as either endowed or current and expendable. An endowed gift is money given by a donor with the intent to preserve the original value, and grow it over time. The funds are held in perpetuity and invested, and the accumulative appreciation is used to distribute once per year. The funds are available to spend after meeting policy guidelines and consistent with donor intent.
An expendable current gift is money given by a donor that can be distributed immediately that is consistent with donor intent.
