The Gift That Keeps on Giving...What is an Endowment?

We have over 12 Houston Aggie Moms' Club Endowments that previous Houston Aggie Moms created and fully funded! These endowments provide over $30k in scholarships every year!
We will be presenting the results of our Funding Distribution for Scholarships and Support for TAMU Organizations at our May 21st meeting. But before we go over those numbers we wanted to give you an idea of what endowments are and what they do.
The Texas A&M University System boasts one of the largest endowments in the U.S., valued at over $19 billion to $20 billion, providing perpetual funding for scholarships, faculty chairs, and programs. Managed by the Texas A&M Foundation and UTIMCO, these funds are invested in a diverse Long-Term Investment Pool (LTIP) to ensure long-term growth and steady annual payouts. 
Key Aspects of the Texas A&M Endowment:
    • Purpose & Function: Endowments are self-sustaining funds where the principal is invested, and a portion of the returns is distributed annually to support university operations, primarily student scholarships and faculty support.
    • Management & Investment: The Texas A&M Foundation manages these funds, focusing on a "long-term investment pool" that leverages diverse asset classes to maximize returns and withstand various market conditions.
  • Types of Endowments:
    • Endowed Scholarships: Typically require a minimum gift of $25,000, which can be funded over five years.
    • Faculty Chairs/Professorships: Generally require minimums of $1,000,000 or more depending on the college.
    • Fellowships: Often start at $150,000 to support graduate research.
  • Payout Policy: The foundation currently distributes 4% of the LTIP's average unit value to the university, with an additional 1.25% covering operational costs.
  • Reporting: The Office of Finance provides disclosures, including endowment account reporting, legislative reports, and compliance monitoring.
