The EDIR corporate engagement team can facilitate the establishment of endowments that ensure Iowa State University remains a leader in educating students and facilitating research in perpetuity.
Endowment gifts provided by corporate partners generate ongoing support for Iowa State students, faculty, and programs. Each endowed fund is managed and tracked separately by the Iowa State University Foundation.
All individual endowed funds are invested as a combined pool, with each fund owning a pro-rata share of the total value and receiving a pro-rata share of the pool’s overall investment return. The purpose of this model is to grow the principal of each endowed fund and provide protection against inflation while supporting the purpose designated by the donor.
These endowments can be established to support scholarship and/or leadership programs for corporate partners looking to have a meaningful impact on the next generation of leaders in their industry.
