Endowment funds help provide co-curricular programming, enhance research opportunities, promote educational innovation and enhance academic support. Enhanced endowment ensures permanent resources for these needs. In 2014-2015, the Missouri Western Foundation was able to provide scholarships totaling more than $789,000 to 433 students. Additionally, the Foundation funded almost $60,000 for 152 students to attend and present their research at national and international conferences.<\/p>\n<p>Endowment funds are the foundation that will generate sustaining support for the next 100 years and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Gifts to Missouri Western\u2019s endowment funds provide much needed perpetual income for scholarships, university faculty and staff positions, facility improvements, general operations, specific programming and more.<\/p>\n<p>It is imperative that we grow the endowment to produce permanent resources for operations, scholarships and innovative programs.<\/p>\n<h3>Ongoing University Support<\/h3>\n<p>The Centennial Capital Campaign will raise funds for programs, equipment and other emerging needs for Missouri Western State University.<\/p>\n<p>All gifts to the Missouri Western Annual Fund will be recognized separately from the Centennial Capital Campaign in the Annual Report. We ask our benefactors to continue their annual support throughout the campaign period and consider an additional, stretch gift to address the University\u2019s campaign goals.<\/p>\n<p>Undesignated funds help Missouri Western to support our mission and provide students an educational experience of the highest quality. Annual, undesignated gifts provide funds to many of the programs and priorities on campus that do not receive regular designated support, such as classroom equipment and experience-enriching programs around campus.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-one-third fusion-column-last\" style=\"width:33.333333333333%;width:calc(33.333333333333% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.33333333333333 ) );margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;background-color:#eaeaea;padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-1 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:31px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-center\" style=\"margin:0;\">Commemorative Naming Opportunities<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\" style=\"transform:translate3d(0,0,0);\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ENDOWMENT*<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Endowed School:<br \/>\n$5 million<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Endowed Chair:<br \/>\n$2 million<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Endowed Professorship:<br \/>\n$1.5 million<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Endowed Program:<br \/>\nPlease call<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Endowed Lecture Series:<br \/>\n$1 million<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Endowed Scholarship:<br \/>\n$10,000 minimum<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:30px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"border-color:#565555;border-top-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\" style=\"transform:translate3d(0,0,0);\"><p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">*MWSU Foundation Endowment Policy<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">Disbursements from the endowed fund will be made annually in accordance with the Foundation\u2019s policies governing the management and administration of endowed funds. These policies are reviewed annually and are subject to change. Current policies limit distribution to four (4) percent of the fund\u2019s balance (sum of the endowed principal, accumulated interest, and dividend earnings and realized\/unrealized capital gains\/losses). The Foundation assesses an administrative fee of one (1) percent of the fund\u2019s balance. These distributions are based on the stated percentages applied to the average balance in the account at the close of the past three calendar years. The Board of Directors will adjust these percentages and\/or other practices and policies as is deemed prudent due to economic and other environmental factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/campaign\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/876"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/campaign\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/campaign\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/campaign\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/campaign\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=876"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/campaign\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/876\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":912,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/campaign\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/876\/revisions\/912"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/campaign\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=876"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
