Endowment Minimums
A Named Endowment permanently links a donor’s name, or a name honored by the donor, with the traditions and future of the West Virginia University School of Nursing. Just as the name attached to an endowed fund will be held in perpetuity at the University, so also will a service be rendered to future faculty and students and, through them, to West Virginia and the nation.
Endowments may be created with a one-time direct gift of at least $25,000 or through pledge payments of up to five years. Funds are activated 12 months after reaching the fully endowed level. Accordingly, no funds are available for the first year after attaining endowment level unless the donor wishes to make a cash gift to provide for immediate spending. As for scholarship awards, a donor may fund the spending for the initial year by making an additional gift which would allow the scholarship to be awarded immediately. Additional gifts may be added to an established endowment at any time.
