Creating an Endowed Gift
An endowment fund is a permanent, self-sustaining source of funding. Endowment assets are invested. Each year, a portion of the value of the fund is paid out to support the fund’s purpose, and any earnings in excess of this distribution are used to build the fund’s market value. In this way, an endowment fund can grow and provide support for its designated purpose in perpetuity. When you establish an endowment fund, you create a permanent legacy of support for Rio.
Make a gift of securities
Gifts of stocks, bonds, or mutual funds are tax-deductible to the full extent of the Internal Revenue Code. Please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement by emailing giving@rio.edu or by calling 740-245-7200.
