Your gift of $25,000 or more will allow us to establish a new endowment for the UAF Rasmuson Library which would bear your name or the name of someone you wish to honor.

 

Your endowment will be used according to your wishes or desire to benefit a specific subject area, collection or project. You may designate the endowment for a specific purpose such as purchasing Alaskan materials, or you may specify that the endowment be used at the Dean's discretion in the area most needed.

 

An endowment is a specially invested fund that provides financial support in perpetuity. Only a percentage of the interest income from an endowment is spent, thus preserving your gifts indefinitely. The principal remains forever intact, and is increased over time through the addition of a portion of the earned income.

 

For more information about establishing an endowment to benefit UAF Rasmuson Library, please contact Suzanne Bishop, Development Officer (907)-474-6997 sbishop@alaska.edu.
