Program Endowment
a-garano.jpgThe 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 men's gymnastics program can be established for $100,000 or more. Each gift of endowment for men's gymnastics 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 gymnasts 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.

Anticipating tuition, room and board costs to be approximately $45,000 per year, 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.

Stanford Men's Gymnastics Program Goals
The men's gymnastics fundraising goal is to raise $50,000 yearly to offset travel, equipment and recruiting expenses. Additionally, we are going to endow of the program. To start the endowment we need $100,000 - to fully endow the program would require $5,000,000. A fully endowed program would guarantee Stanford Men's Gymnastics stability. Every gift to the program moves us closer to achieving our fundraising goals
