Endowments

Endowments are a powerful investment in the future of the University of Colorado. Through annual distributions, they provide reliable funding for student scholarships, innovative programs, faculty support, and campus initiatives that enhance the educational experience and strengthen the campus community. 

At CU, thousands of individual endowments generate stable financial support for people, places, and programs. Those individual endowments are collectively known as the CU endowment. And thanks to caring donors, CU endowments provide support today that builds a stronger future for generations to come.
