Endowment Goal: $4M

ENDOWMENT GROWTH

Endowments build long-term financial stability that provides scholarships to promising young women for generations to come.

Infused by the spirit of Serviam, I will serve, Ursuline Academy is distinguished as a premier educational institution and center of culture and faith.

Three cornerstones and signature programs combine to make Ursuline unique in the Dallas area: our Ursuline heritage and Catholic identity, we are all girls, and our tradition and innovation. An endowment is a permanent "trust" account established through philanthropic support. The endowment principal earns investment income to benefit the school.

Endowments are managed by the Ursuline Academy of Dallas Foundation, Inc., and a formal investment policy provides for both growth and expenditures.

Endowment Purposes

Giving to Endowments

Gifts of any amount many be contributed to Ursuline’s general endowment funds.

A named endowment may be established with a minimum contribution of $50,000 and would formally establish a family legacy at Ursuline that would benefit the school in perpetuity. Your contribution (when realized) would be invested and generate an annual distribution, which could be directed to the program of your choice. Distributions are determined by the Board of Trustees for the Ursuline Academy of Dallas Foundation, Inc, and generally range between 4% and 5% annually. Ursuline provides annual updates about the financial state and impact of endowments to those who established them and to their families. These communications provide an incredible opportunity to keep future generations of your family engaged with the organizations that are of most importance to you.

Endowment Purposes

Your contributions to general or named endowment funds may benefit Ursuline Academy through one of the following programs.

Scholarships – provide merit or need-based financial tuition assistance for students.
Faculty Support – assists Ursuline in the recruitment and retention of strong educators by supporting salaries, benefits, and professional development.
Unrestricted – the distribution from unrestricted endowments provides the Academy with funding that is applied to the areas of greatest need in any given year.

We chose to give to the endowed scholarship fund in our parents’ name because we believe in Catholic education. Because of our parents, we were fortunate to have the opportunity and experience of a Catholic education. Through our gift and on behalf of our parents, we wanted to provide the opportunity of an Ursuline education and experience for generations to come.
