Endowments

Invest in the future of Pima College with an endowment of at least $10,000.

The money you donate as an endowment becomes the principal that the Foundation invests. The resulting investment returns provide an annual income to Pima and the principal is never spent.

You determine

• how to fund the endowment.
• the name and use of the endowment.
• the criteria of award if the endowment is used for scholarships.

How it Works

Funds are invested and managed by the Foundation's Investment Committee.  Its goal is a balanced portfolio for optimal total return and a stable source of long-term funding.

Currently, four percent of a fund's market value is paid out annually to support the designated scholarship or program.  Anything remaining from the return after the payout and fees is reinvested with the principal so that the endowment can grow over time.
