| What are the differences between the Annual Fund, a planned gift, and a major gifts program, and the Endowment Fund? |
Marian's Annual Fund helps "bridge the gap" between tuition and the actual cost of educating a Marian student. It provides overall support of our yearly operating budget.
A planned gift, often a bequest, a gift of life insurance, or a life income gift, helps ensure Marian's impact for generations to come and greatly enhances our endowment.
A major gifts program uses capital gifts as investments in construction or endowment to ensure Marian's growth and advancement.
Marian's Endowment Fund ensures the long-term needs of the school and its students by providing permanent financial support for tuition assistance and scholarships, faculty enrichment, and other valuable student programs. |
