Endowments are excellent opportunities for leaving a legacy and often provide naming opportunities to honor or memorialize individuals, organizations, or corporations. As only a small percentage of an endowment’s investment earnings is utilized for expenditures, endowments make resources available perpetually, maintaining an important financial stability for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture while also granting a lasting impact to an area of interest for our donors.

Endowments can be established through the Agricultural Development Council of The University of Arkansas (UA) Foundation, Inc., which serves as the 501(c)(3) charitable arm supporting the campuses and institutions within the University of Arkansas System. Endowments can be funded through cash gifts (outright or pledged) or planned gifts (i.e., irrevocable bequests in will or living trusts, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, gifts of property or real estate, gifts of marketable security, etc.).
