Perpetuating long term success is possible because of the
generous contributions and loyalty shown by private
individuals.
Endowments are a generous source of permanent income for Pioneer
Athletics. The money gifted to an endowment is invested, with a
percentage of the income growth supporting a specific purpose as
directed by the donor(s). The remaining income is reinvested into
the endowment, ensuring that the value of the investment grows
forever.
An endowments may be established with a minimum gift of $50,000,
and can be established for specific teams or programs as well as
for general funding purposes. Gifts may be made payable over a
maximum five year period.
Donors are encouraged to name the endowment in a way meaningful
to them.
