Your gift to the College of Liberal Arts can accomplish much more than you think it can. The Texas A&M Foundation is dedicated to investing and managing donated funds in a manner that creates enduring value for you and for tomorrow’s Aggies.

At the Texas A&M Foundation, for instance, a long-term investment strategy ensures that endowments grow over time to keep pace with inflation. For example, a $100,000 fellowship endowed in 1991 would have provided $75,033 for graduate students over the past 12 years. Even with these disbursements, the endowment’s market value would have grown to $137,031 as of June 30, 2003.

The chart below shows how one gift can accrue substantial value over time.
