Endowment
The minimum amount to establish an endowed scholarship for the UACCB Foundation is $15,000. An endowed award may be established for $5,000. The U of A Foundation currently allows for payment of 4.5% of a fund that has reached endowed status.
The overall endowment for the UACCB Foundation Fund is around $300,000.
Does my gift really make a difference?
YES! Every year new scholarships and accounts are established and every dollar credited to those accounts not only increases the overall value of the foundation fund, but increases the impact the Foundation Fund may have to students and the institution.
In FY 08 the UACCB Foundation was able to fund over $85 thousand on behalf of UACCB for different projects.
Gifts to individual departments are just as important as gifts to endowed accounts. Departmental accounts allow for expenses not allowed by the State of Arkansas.
