Imagine making a contribution that leaves a legacy to WKAR for generations to come. When you establish an endowment, you are assuring your gift will have a lasting impact. Without question, endowments are the most stable and advantageous source of funding for the station.

WHAT IS AN ENDOWMENT?

An endowment is a gift made on the condition that the principal is continually preserved and only a percentage of the interest is spent annually. Given their permanence, endowments assure excellence.

WKAR currently has more than $2.3 million invested in the University’s Common Investment Fund that yields about $115,000 annually to be spent according to the designation that the donors and the university have agreed upon. Every year, a number of new donors step forward to add to these totals.

Endowing your gift will ensure that WKAR will not only endure, but that it will prosper as well.

An Extraordinary Impact: WKAR Endowment Guide (PDF) includes an alphabetical listing of all endowments maintained by WKAR and a short description of what each fund supports. This list represents endowments created as of February 1, 2016. After each endowment is the Gift Code that should be used to direct a gift to that specific fund by any donor.

As you browse through the WKAR Endowment Guide, you will see the passion and commitment that many community members already have shown in support of WKAR’s mission. We hope you use their generosity to spark your own ideas for how you might be able to do the same.
