Endowment Fund

An endowment fund consists of donations or capital set aside to generate ongoing income for a specific purpose commonly used by educational, religious, or non-profit institutions. The principal amount typically remains untouched, while investment returns support operations or scholarships. It ensures financial sustainability and accountability over long-term institutional commitments.
