Create an Endowment

Create a Named Endowment
An endowment is a permanent, named fund that generates on-going income used to support a specific purpose. Endowments can be named for the donor, or in honor/memory of family, friends, mentors, etc. The minimum endowment size is $25,000 and may be paid over five years. Funding priorities include, but are not limited to:
Professorships ($500,000)
Professorships allow the University Libraries to recruit, retain and reward deserving faculty members.
Endowed Positions (starting at $1,000,000)
Curators
Library curators specializing in different subject areas teach classes provide hands-on experiences to students, and organize exhibitions
Conservator Position ($1 million)
Endowed named fund would generate an annual income to cover the salary and benefits of a conservator in the Libraries’ Preservation Unit
Librarians
Endowed named fund would generate an annual income for the salary and benefits of our subject librarians.
Special Collections/University Archives Endowment ($3 million)
Support the Libraries' collections of distinction and the history of Texas A&M.
General Collections Endowment ($2 million)
Support the acquisition of library materials to further enhance the education and research of students and faculty.
