What is an endowment?
An endowment is a fund set aside permanently. The principal is invested and a small percentage of the earnings is used for annual operating expenses or for the purpose the donor has specified, such as scholarships.

How can I establish an endowed scholarship?
Persons interested in establishing a named endowed fund/scholarship are encouraged to consult with the Development Office prior to making the gift so that the donor’s intentions are appropriately established in writing. Discussion of any named endowed fund/scholarship agreement on behalf of Overbrook Catholic School shall be done with the knowledge, consent, and signature of the school principal.

In designating a gift to the endowment for a specific purpose, the donor is encouraged:
- to describe the purpose for the gift as broadly as possible;
- to avoid detailed limitations and restrictions on the gift and/or scholarship;
- to provide a clause granting the institution maximum flexibility to make use of designated funds in a manner most consistent with the intent of the donor and with the interests of the school should programmatic or other developments make it impossible to apply the endowment proceeds to the purpose for which it was designated originally.
A donor may create a full-tuition scholarship with a minimum commitment of $250,000. This amount will be payable in full or at least an initial gift of $50,000. The awarding of the scholarship will not commence until the minimum commitment has been completed.
