Endowments

This is an outstanding opportunity to provide a gift to The University of South Dakota athletics in your name or in the name of a loved one that will last forever. An endowment program is the time-honored method of allocating gifts to a permanent fund. This fund is invested to earn income each year and, as the fund grows, so does the income it generates. Each year distributions from the fund are used to support student athletes. The principle remains invested in order to perpetuate the fund. Athletic endowments require a $25,000 commitment, which may be paid over five years and we will assist the donor with criteria for awarding and naming options.

Endowments can be established to provide annual scholarships for student athletes, funding for new facilities or renovations to existing ones. A gift to an endowment fund can be outright or deferred by giving through your estate plan. There are many ways to make a significant charitable contribution to The University of South Dakota athletics while protecting your personal and family situation through thoughtful planning. We will be happy to help you determine which type of gift is most appropriate for you.
