Gift Opportunities Annual Support These gifts include both unrestricted and restricted contributions for current fiscal year operations. Annual fund gifts are unrestricted and can be used for ongoing current expenses. Restricted gifts provide budgetary support for current operations as well. Their use may be specifically designated for areas such as the bicentennial, athletics, departmental needs, annually awarded scholarships, library or memorial gifts. Scholarships Scholarships are the lifeblood for students. When you make it possible for a student to attend the Mount, you touch far more than one life. You touch all those whom Mount graduates will serve, lead, teach and love. For a list of current scholarships, click here. Endowment Gifts Gifts to the endowment create permanent sources of income for important needs and are critical to the future of the Mount. Endowments are needed in such areas as student scholarships, faculty chairs, library collections and academic programs. In the past seven years the Mount’s endowment has grown from $11 million to $30 million, helping provide a stable base for operating costs. Relying more on this permanent capital base and less on student tuition allows the Mount to take advantage of new opportunities for advancement and growth, regardless of the economic climate. A minimum gift of $25,000 will endow a named fund. A list of the named giving opportunities for financial aid and faculty support can be found by clicking here.
