Endowed Funds at The Summit
All endowments have a story to tell and are an important part of The Summit’s history. Endowed Funds at The Summit are invested gifts that provide stable, sustained revenue to support their intended purpose. Endowed gifts are made possible through the generous investments of alumni, parents and friends as an impacting way to demonstrate their support and passion for The Summit. Endowed funds are established to provide ongoing permanent support for designated funding recipients by use of interest earned on endowments, rather than the expense of the funds themselves. These funds may be created for a variety of purposes, including faculty support, student scholarships, curriculum innovation building and grounds enhancement. Specific donation amounts are required to establish an endowed fund.

Named Scholarship Funds
Endowed scholarship can be named and designated for specific use when a fund reaches $100,000 threshold. Naming an endowed scholarship preserves a benefactor’s interest in The Summit and can honor or memorialize a loved one, friend, classmate, or business. Students who receive a named scholarship are informed of the specific interests of the fund and that others share a commitment to their education through financial support.

Faculty Support Funds
Endowment Funds may be restricted to provide The Summit with a significant and permanent source of financial support The Summit’s faculty. Like endowed funds for student scholarships, investment income earned by faculty endowment funds are used annually to support teaching. Endowed funds designated to chairs, faculty, and faculty development and research provide a significant source of The Summit’s operating budget to free up money to redirect for other academic areas of need.
Professional Development
Faculty need to stay on the cutting edge of their disciplines. Endowments for professional development provide the necessary funds to encourage our faculty’s intellectual curiosity, critical-thinking, and learning outside of a classroom setting to spark innovation in teaching.
Professional development funds also provide opportunity for speaker, program, and seminar series to bring prominent speakers to campus to spark insight, engage conversation, and share knowledge within our Summit community.
