An endowment is structured to keep the fund principal intact while the investment earnings income is available for use. This allows donations to have a lasting impact over time versus being spent all at once. An endowment has stipulations regarding its usage – and funds are defined as “restricted.” Contributions to endowments can be of any size but require a minimum balance before distribution.
