About Endowments

An endowment is a permanent fund supporting a purpose of your choosing. Depending on your individual passion or interest, your endowment, which provides funds in perpetuity, can be focused or wide-ranging. The principal of your gift is invested and grows over time, while quarterly distributions provide a steady, reliable source of income to the program you choose. This ensures your gift will provide benefits year after year, generation after generation.

Helen Johns Library Endowment Fund

Helen Johns

The purpose of the Endowment is for funding for staff development, including but not limited to, training, conferences, workshops and associated costs.

This gift was received from the estate of Helen Johns, who was the Head of the University Libraries Circulation Division for 28 years. She loved her work and the Libraries and this endowment was created from her bequest.
