Endowed Gifts

An endowment gift to University of the Cumberlands is a powerful way to support students today while ensuring the University thrives for generations to come.

Here’s how it works:

  • Your gift is invested, creating a permanent fund.

  • Each year, a portion of the investment income supports immediate needs at the University.

  • The remaining earnings are reinvested, allowing your gift to grow and provide enduring support far into the future.

With one gift, you help meet today’s priorities while building a strong foundation for tomorrow.

An Example of How It Works

Longtime supporters Susan and Charlie have two goals: First, they want to make sure Cumberlands continues to receive support after they’re gone. Second, they want to memorialize Charlie’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jones.

Susan and Charlie make a $25,000 donation to Cumberlands, which we invest, and each year, a portion of the income from the invested money will be used to support our mission in honor of the Joneses. Plus, Susan and Charlie qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction on their taxes.
