What is an Endowment? An endowment is a donation to Mater Dei High school that is invested to provide ongoing income for the school. The gifts contr ibuted to an endowment are considered the ?cor pus? or ?pr incipal? and remain untouched. Mater Dei receives an annual distr ibution from the interest income to suppor t the school. Endowments can be named to honor or memor ialize a family or loved one and can be designated for a specific pur pose, i.e. tuition assistance, technology, athletics, science, or left unrestr icted which are made available to assist with cur rent school pr ior ities. The investments are professionally managed and adhere to a policy that is consistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church. An endowment is a gift that continues to benefit the school in per petuity. A minimum $5,000 gift must be given to establish an endowment. Many colleges and other or ganizations are able to provide significant annual income through their endowments which are life- giving and reliable.
