Endowment
A Proud Tradition of Giving
Endowment funds are similar to savings accounts that generate income from the investment of the principal. When a gift is made to the General Endowment Fund, Founders' Promise Endowment Fund or MacLane Endowment Fund the gift is invested, allowed to grow, and to produce income. At The Country School, all monies and interest earned through endowment are earmarked for scholarship.
For The Country School to endure and thrive for future generations, we depend on the growth of our endowment. The endowment is equivalent to a family’s savings/investment account. Gifts to this endeavor secure The Country School’s future for the generations of students yet to enroll in our great school.
Specific areas in the endowment include:
