endowments
We are grateful for your generous support, and we take our responsibilities seriously. LSU Health Foundation assets are private funds that can be used only for the benefit of LSU Health and in accordance with donor intent. The tenets of the Donor Bill of Rights guide our relationships with donors.
What is an Endowed Gift?
The purpose of an endowment is to provide a source of perpetual funding. Endowed gifts to the LSU Health Foundation fund scholarships, professorships, chairs and other programs and initiatives that are meaningful to our donors and LSU Health New Orleans. When a donor establishes an endowment fund, that gift is invested in an LSU Health Foundation endowed pool to provide perpetual funding for the purpose chosen by the donor. Each year, a portion of the total return from the endowed gift can be expended as per the purpose(s) established by the donor. This portion is between 4-5% of the market value.
You can establish a named endowed fund to recognize and honor friends, family members, colleagues and mentors, or to simply provide support for the university in perpetuity. You can designate your named fund to provide support for LSU Health in general or for any school or program.
Endowment Fund Minimums
Our minimum level of $50,000 for endowment funds help to ensure that each gift can, in perpetuity, meet the needs of the program the donor chooses to support. Some programs may require a higher level of support.
Named Endowed Scholarship: $50,000
Professorship: $100,000
Lecture Series: $250,000
