The endowment of the 猫咪视频app Hills College Foundation is professionally managed following guidelines developed by the Foundation's Finance Committee. The committee monitors the performance quarterly and annually conducts an in-depth review with the investment advisors. Each named endowment is maintained as a separate account and receives its pro-rated share of the endowment's earnings and appreciation (total return). The usual annual pay out is 5%, following guidelines of the National Association of College and University Business Officers. Any positive difference in total return of the principle is credited to the endowment account. This helps to ensure continued growth of the account, thereby increasing the earnings that may be spent annually. The investment goal is to realize a return in equities and bonds that exceeds the pay out plus the applicable rate of inflation to yield a positive growth of the net worth of the account over time. Endowments provide predictable revenue for scholarships, faculty development, instructional support, library acquisitions and campus growth and enhancement. Endowments offer revenue in perpetuity which faculty and staff can use in planning curricula, building program excellence, and increasing access and opportunities for student success. The following describes some of the more common endowment and the minimum amount of support needed to create a named endowment. The donor selects the name of the account. A Memo of Understanding (MOU) or a letter of transmittal can detail any restriction or guidelines that the donor wishes to apply to the use of the gift.
