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.
