Establish an Endowment
Establishing an endowed fund helps build a strong future for Callier’s patients, students and researchers.
The interest earned on an endowed gift is used to achieve the donor’s philanthropic interests. The University of Texas System invests all of Callier’s endowment gifts and guarantees a fixed rate of return, regardless of changes in the market. This ensures that endowment gifts will leave a lasting impact.
Note: Dollar amounts listed below represent minimum levels to establish an endowed fund. A pledge to establish an endowment may be completed over a period of up to five years. Endowments may be made through an estate gift.
