ENDOWMENTS Endowed funds provide stable, long-term financial support for the Southwest Minnesota State University Athletics Department. Unlike athletics operations revenue (such as ticket sales) or contributions for seating/parking priorities, gifts to endowed funds are invested to protect the investment so that over a long term the funs will fulfill the donors’ specified purposes. The amount made available to SMSU athletics continues to accrue, providing crucial scholarship support for future Mustang student-athletes.

Endowed scholarships may be established with a minimum gift or pledge of at least $10,000 through a single gift or through installments pledged over a period of time mutually agreed upon by the donor and the SMSU Foundation Office.
