The JPHCOPH offers many opportunities for establishing and naming endowed funds. The principal of an endowment is held intact in perpetuity and invested. Some earnings are reinvested each year so that the principal grows and retains it purchasing power. The remaining earnings, generally about 4-5 percent of the principal, provide a steady flow of income for the purposes designated by the donor.

By setting minimum gift levels for certain types of endowments, the University ensures that sufficient income is available annually to support their designated purpose. Endowments may be named for the donor or, if the donor so chooses, in memory or honor of someone special, such as a relative, friend, or faculty member.
