What is an Endowment Fund?
An endowment gift connects you to Bronco Athletics, our student-athletes, and their education in significant and powerful ways. In fact, your donations help award student-athlete scholarships and support Bronco Athletics in providing elite performance opportunities and supplementing operational costs each year. An academic scholarship is vital to the collegiate experience for a student-athlete, but it is only one component of their full development as competitors and scholars. Many other components are involved in changing the life of a Bronco student-athlete, including services like academic support, sports medicine, athletic performance, performance nutrition, travel, and equipment, all enhance the student-athlete experience.
How Does an Endowment Work?
With the financial expertise of Boise State University behind us, we invest your gift. The principle remains untouched. We use the distribution – like dividends on a mutual fund account – each year to support student-athletes. Investment returns above the distribution rate help value of the endowment increase over time.
