CCV Donation Funds

Endowed Funds
A gift to an endowed fund ensures that your donation will continue in perpetuity, as the principal can never be used. Endowed funds are invested funds, and a percentage of the interest earned is used for scholarships or programs, as defined by the original donor. Endowed funds that are eligible for state matching funds are marked with an asterisk*.
