Named Endowment Funds

Named endowment funds ensure a donor’s giving makes an impact forever. A minimum pledge of $25,000 is required to establish a named endowment fund, and the funds are subject to a 4% annual spend rate (based on the prior 12-quarter fund average). Alumni chapters can also establish a Chapter Education or Housing Account (CEA/CHA), which are not subject to the 4% spending policy and provide grants to chapters for educational needs.

The following fund list is from the 2022-2023 fiscal year.
