51Âþ»­ Endowment

The endowment is a long-term investment in 51Âþ»­. Gifts to the endowment are invested, and each year the fund pays out a percentage, much like interest, to support the school's mission, while the principal is protected for future generations.

How the Endowment Works

  • Invested

    Gifts to the endowment are invested for the long term. They are not spent in the year they are given.
  • Protected

    The 51Âþ»­ Endowment is held by the Arizona Community Foundation, under terms that protect the principal to a very high level.
  • Paid out every year

    Each year the fund pays the school a percentage, much like interest, while the principal stays protected. It is a dependable source of funding that benefits students year after year.

The Importance of the Endowment

Endowment support provides a dependable source of funding for priorities such as academic excellence, faculty development, financial aid, campus stewardship, and innovative programs.

Donors can trust that a gift to the endowment is a durable, long-term way to help the school thrive.

Two Funds, Working Together

Each year begins with the Seven Warriors Annual Fund, which pays for the school's operating needs. The endowment builds on that foundation, strengthening 51Âþ»­ for the years ahead.
