Endowments | Texas Woman's University

Endowments create a foundation intended to build lasting financial strength, stability and long-term funding. At Texas Woman’s, these funds are invested with the purpose of producing continued earnings over time. This means the principal amount of each endowment remains in perpetuity while the investment income generated provides support annually for teaching and research, student aid, programs and activities.

Endowment Impact

Endowed funds make an impact that is felt year after year. Endowments not only provide students in need with the means to attain their degree but also help to ensure that they have the tools and resources required for the best educational experience possible. From bolstering the recruitment and retention of high-quality academic leadership to providing program support for state-of-the-art technology and facilities, endowments help Texas Woman’s continue its legacy of excellence.

How It Works

Endowments may be established with a gift of $25,000 or more. Pledges may be paid over a five-year period. Your endowment may carry your name or the name of someone you wish to honor. Many donors choose to name endowments to honor a family member, an influential professor, or mentor. If you wish to create an endowment or for more information, please contact one of our Development Directors or our Donor Relations team at 940-898-3872 or giving@twu.edu.

Fund Management

Donors that create an endowment receive a yearly report at the close of each fiscal year. The report provides information on the performance of the endowment during the previous year. Scholarship donors will also receive information about their scholarship recipient(s) and when possible have opportunities to engage with the student(s) through virtual or in-person events. Donors with academic endowments receive a yearly impact statement highlighting support provided by their funds.
