Endowments

An endowment is a permanent fund in which the principal is invested and only the annual interest income is available for use to support the endowment purpose.

As the investment fund grows (or with additional contributions to the principal by donors), the annual income also grows. With a strong endowment base of support, the UA Zuckerman College of Public Health will be able to maintain a consistent and long-term standard of excellence despite economic fluctuations. Endowments create a lasting legacy and can have an incredible impact on students, faculty and research at the Zuckerman College of Public Health.

When you create an endowment, you can honor someone important to you while providing permanent support to The UA Zuckerman College of Public Health.

Eminent Scholars Program

The University of Arizona needs exceptional faculty to accomplish our bold goals for research and education. The Eminent Scholars Program (ESP), managed by the Office of the Provost and the University of Arizona Foundation, is a state-funded program designed to provide funding to match philanthropic investment for the recruitment/retention of eminent scholars (faculty) at Arizona universities. At the University of Arizona, the program provides a 1:1 match for the payout of newly established endowed faculty positions for five years and an additional one-time award for graduate students working under/with the holder of said endowed chair/position.

Qualifying Gifts and Limits

• Minimum Gift Level: New gifts to establish an endowed chair ($2M) through a gift commitment or a pledge (planned gifts are not eligible) spanning no more than five years. Please note that multi-donor chair commitments will be eligible for the match at such time as the entire pledge commitment(s) have been fulfilled.
• Funding Limits: The ESP has limited funding; $2M is the maximum it will match per endowed faculty position.
