Endowed funds are donor established investment accounts created to offer lasting financial support to Gaston College students, faculty, staff, departments and programs. Named endowments can be established for a minimum gift of $10,000 and can recognize a donor, an area of study, or someone who a donor wishes to honor in perpetuity.
Once an endowed fund’s assets reach the minimum gift level, the interest earned is used to award scholarships and further academic programs of Gaston College in accordance with the donor’s gift intentions and the Foundation’s spending policy.
