I cannot express my gratitude enough to the Lienhart CEAS Student Emergency Gift Fund committee and donors of this scholarship for helping me at a time when I thought all hope was lost. This scholarship removed the weight of near homelessness from my shoulders and showed me that I have the support of the college, no matter the circumstance, and that makes me even more proud to be a Bearcat!”

a letter from rich bundy
Thanks to your support and dedication, the meaningful connections forged at the University of Cincinnati and UC Health translate into acts of generosity with a profound impact on the greater community.
Medical research is advancing because grateful patients choose to endow chairs at the College of Medicine. Students are experiencing life-changing opportunities through co-ops and travel thanks to programs supported by our corporate partners. And incoming first-generation college students are thriving on campus and in the classroom thanks to the support of our alumni.
Your kindness and dedication make countless success stories like these possible. In the pages of this report, you’ll see how your contributions and commitment are creating centers for healing, research and world-class patient care. Your support is also instrumental in providing innovative new spaces for interactive student learning and game-changing facilities for our student-athletes.
Next, Now: The Campaign for Cincinnati has made our ambitious goals a reality, and it’s all thanks to your generosity. The campaign concluded in June, but this is only the beginning. New opportunities await as we expand scholarship programs, elevate scholarly research and innovation, improve health outcomes, and excel in the Big 12. We cannot do it without you.
As the new president of the UC Foundation, I am fortunate to join this community at a tremendous inflection point and I am committed to continuing our upward trajectory.
Thank you for creating new possibilities through your investment in UC and UC Health. Your support is invaluable, and I look forward to celebrating the institution’s next exciting breakthroughs together.

BREAKTHROUGH
a letter from leigh fox
As a young student, I vividly remember the relief I felt when I received my first scholarship check. As a first-generation student, I worked 40 hours a week while going to school, and thanks to my scholarships and the encouragement I received from faculty, I stayed focused and motivated. If not for that help, I may not be the person I am today, and I remain incredibly grateful.
My first year as chair of the UC Foundation Board of Trustees coincides with the end of the incredibly successful Next, Now: The Campaign for Cincinnati. Going forward, we will build on our accomplishments, ensuring that generations of students, leaders and innovators are prepared to take on new and exciting challenges.
Serving UC and UC Health alongside my fellow trustees is an honor. My experience as a Bearcat taught me to work hard and be open to change, and I’m excited about what we can accomplish together.
On behalf of the UC Foundation Board of Trustees, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you. Your generous contributions have transformed lives at UC and UC Health, and we are deeply grateful for your continued support and belief in the power of philanthropy.
Leigh R. Fox, Bus ’01 Chair, University of Cincinnati Foundation Board of Trustees

a letter from the chief investment officer
I am pleased to present the UC endowment investment results through June 30, 2024. UC’s total endowment ended the fiscal year at $2 billion, its highest value ever. This new record was made possible through $192 million of investment gains and $24.8 million of new donations in the past 12 months.
During this fiscal year, the UC Endowment “A Pool”1 generated a strong +9.3% gain and outperformed inflation. For the past three years, the A Pool generated a 4.6% annualized gain and strongly outperformed the global balanced portfolio1 and inflation. The Pool’s 1-year performance relative to the global balanced portfolio should not be a cause for concern because a single year is a tiny sliver of time in a perpetual investment portfolio. The A Pool outperformed the global balanced portfolio for the trailing three years, five years, 10 years.
The global balanced portfolio was driven by an unusually concentrated handful of companies that benefited from the hype around artificial intelligence (AI). We expect that AI hype will come back down to earth and bring these companies with it. Due to the A Pool’s all-weather portfolio that is positioned to succeed across a broad array of economic and market environments, we expect the A Pool to outperform the global balanced portfolio over multi-year periods.
On the following pages, you’ll read about the multi-year benefits of endowments and UC’s longer-term investment performance, plus a spotlight on endowed scholarship funds that support UC’s student-athletes and alumni who competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Thank you for your support of UC’s endowment.
Karl Scheer Chief Investment Officer, University of Cincinnati
1 Dollar figures reflect UC’s $2.0 billion total endowment, which includes its $1.4 billion internally managed pool (the “A Pool”) and endowment funds managed by third parties per donor decree. Performance percentages reflect the A Pool. The global balanced portfolio is comprised of 60% global stocks (MSCI All-Country World Equity Index) and 40% bonds (Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index). Inflation is the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U).

DEDICATION
Why Are Endowments So Powerful?
Endowments can be complicated, but their power and benefit are undeniable once understood. UC’s endowment pool comprises over 2,600 underlying funds, some dating back to the 1850s, most of which were:
Donated by an individual or family;
For permanent support;
• Of a scholarship, research program, professorship or other educational pursuit.
For further clarity, UC’s endowment does not include tuition revenue, state funding or current-use donations. Each of UC’s endowment funds are governed by a donor agreement that specifies the area the fund will support. In each donor agreement, the university makes a pledge to manage the principal capital forever and to direct the annual spending exclusively toward the donor’s chosen purpose.
Like most institutions, UC commingles its individual endowments’ principal dollars into a large pool, which leverages the pool’s combined size to offer economies of scale for buying power and administrative efficiency. Commingling allows each underlying endowment fund to devote nearly all its value to its purpose and pay very little to fees, expenses, overhead, etc.
The Power of Endowments
UC manages its endowment funds carefully and patiently, allowing the university to unlock the transformational effect of each investment. Every year, about 4%2 of each fund is withdrawn and spent on its designated purpose—which may include scholarships, professorships, research support or other vital programs. The remaining capital is invested to replenish the withdrawals and increase the principal balance. Over time, this approach multiplies the impact of the donation exponentially, transforming a $1 million gift into $5 million dollars worth of impact as illustrated in Figure 2, below.
Endowments steadily make distributions every year, but investment markets can be volatile. Therefore, donors and stewards must maintain a long investment time horizon while patiently giving endowments time to grow.
The UC Investment Office manages UC’s main commingled endowment pool, the A Pool, with this multidecade investment horizon in mind, and we are proud to report that the A Pool has meaningfully outperformed benchmarks over multi-year periods.
While UC’s outperformance of +1.6% per year (8.3% vs. 6.7%, please see Figure 3) sounds modest, the effect of compounding superior returns over long periods of time is dramatic. Over 30 years, a $1 million endowment gift invested in the A Pool would have grown to $2.5 million while distributing $2.8 million of financial support, eclipsing the results of the same $1 million invested in a the global balanced portfolio ($1.6 million support and $2 million principal, as illustrated in Figure 2) over three decades.

As the United States drew together this summer to celebrate our country’s beloved athletes in the 2024 Paris Olympics, the UC community had an extra special reason to feel proud: our Bearcat Olympians.
Each Olympic athlete has a different path to the highest level of achievement in their sport. But every athlete harnesses incredible natural talent, discipline and the support of numerous coaches, relatives and others. While at UC, our Bearcat Olympians also relied on financial support from endowed scholarship funds designated to support UC student-athletes. Athletic endowment scholarships are indispensable to the development of student-athletes. They are a doorway providing financial security, allowing athletes to dedicate time to both their studies and their sports with much less financial stress.

One scholarship fund that has relieved financial stress for a generation of student-athletes is the endowment created to celebrate UC legend George D. Smith. He played football for UC from 1932 to 1935 before guiding the men’s basketball team to national prominence as head coach from 1952 to 1960, then served the university as athletics director, and later vice president for development. In 1978, he was inducted into the James P. Kelly UC Athletic Hall of Fame. In 1998, the George Smith Society Endowed Athletic Fund was established to celebrate George’s substantial contributions to UC Athletics and student life. In its 26 years of existence, the George Smith Fund has improved the lives of hundreds of student-athletes, provided vital financial assistance, and afforded them the opportunity to focus more on their studies and athletic preparation and less on the cost of their educations.
Numerous generous donors created the George Smith Fund and additional donors have continued to contribute to it. Today’s UC student-athletes can also receive financial support from a growing group of individually named endowed scholarship funds established by incredibly generous members of the UC community, including the following:
Kretschmer Volleyball Endowed Scholarship
Dobbs Family Endowed Scholarship
Established by Laura W. Kretschmer, EdD and Richard R. Kretschmer, Jr., EdD, this scholarship supports students on the women’s volleyball team.
Established by Kimberlee J. and Robert E. Dobbs, this scholarship supports female student-athletes from the Carl H. Lindner College of Business or College of Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services who are participating in an Olympic sport.
We Play For 3 Endowed Soccer Scholarship
Established by David Sidloski and Tracie Sidloski, the legacy of Ally Sidloski is honored by this scholarship for student-athletes participating in women’s soccer team.
Innovative Generosity
Today’s donors can choose to designate gifts to existing endowments like the George Smith Society Endowed Athletic Fund or create an entirely new endowment and add their names to the legacy of distinguished Bearcat donors.

The generosity of one UC alumnus elevates UC students and ALS patient care and research
Hugh H. Hoffman loved his hometown and fellow Cincinnatians. The youngest son of Herbert H. Hoffman and Madeline Rowe, Hoffman was a fourth-generation Cincinnatian whose family prioritized giving to the community.
Hoffman, Bus ’63, had a long history of supporting UC students. He was also an avid Bearcats fan, holding season tickets to several teams. Transformative gifts from his estate to the University of Cincinnati and UC Health will shape lives for generations.
Scholarship program support at three UC colleges
In the 2024-2025 academic year, UC named the first cohort of the Hoffman Honors Scholars program, as part of a $56 million gift from the Hoffman’s estate. Created with a portion of the largest donation to scholarships in UC’s 200-year-plus history, the 12 Hoffman Honors Scholars will consist of undergraduate students from the College of Arts and Sciences, the College-Conservatory of Music, and the Carl H. Lindner College of Business.
The program is unique, offering financial support and growth opportunities, and in combination with the Hoffman Honors Scholars, $14 million of the gift will be invested to support UC student-athletes.
Advancing patient care, research and education at the UC Gardner Neuroscience Institute
A $13.5 million gift from Hoffman’s estate guarantees that amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients in the Greater Cincinnati region will be supported through clinical care and research in perpetuity.
A long-time supporter of ALS research and patient care, Hoffman was passionate about helping those with ALS because his father had died from the disease.
The gift ensures patients can access comprehensive multidisciplinary care, such as nurse practitioners, therapists, nutritionists, social workers and technical equipment. It also created two endowed chairs positions, focusing on research and clinical needs.
An inspiring breakthrough
Together, Hoffman’s $56 million gift to scholarships and $13.5 million donation to ALS research and care represent one of the most significant gifts in the history of UC and UC Health.
