Program Endowment
The costs of salaries and benefits, recruiting, team travel and other expenses are escalating, some of themfaster than the rate of inflation. The long-term solution to offsetting the cost of these expenses is endowment. An endowment fund for the fencing program can be established for $100,000 or more. Each gift of endowment for fencing is invested and earns annual income for the operating budget in perpetuity.

Scholarship Endowment
Endowed scholarship funds help provide the resources necessary to attract talented fencing student-athletes to Stanford. A fund can be named for the donor or for someone the donor chooses to honor.

Endowed scholarship funds are invested with the University's endowment and earn income in perpetuity for student aid. The Board of Trustees established a payout rate to protect the purchasing power of the endowment. Earnings and appreciation over the payout rate are plowed back into the principal to keep it growing.

An endowment to support a full athletic grant-in-aid can be established with a gift of $900,000. An endowed partial scholarship fund may be established at a minimum level of $250,000.

We Appreciate Your Support!
