Endowment, Named Funds, and Restricted Gifts
Endowment
A robust endowment contributes to Lowell's financial stability and is an important indicator of its long-term success.
Income from the endowment contributes a stream of revenue to enhance the program and take pressure off of tuition increases by supporting teacher salaries, financial assistance, staff development, or whatever is needed most. Gifts to the Endowment are always welcome and can be made in honor, in memory, and/or in celebration of an individual or group.
Named Funds
We recognizes that a named fund is a meaningful way to say thank you to a great teacher or to someone in the donor's family who has been an inspiration. The minimum gift for a named fund in the Endowment is $25,000.
Restricted Gifts
The most helpful gifts are those with the fewest restrictions. However, we recognize that donors may wish to restrict the use of a gift to a specific purpose not part of an existing fund.
