The Wilson School endowment builds the foundation for long-term stability and success, allowing the school to enhance our educational program, increase tuition assistance and scholarship, support faculty compensation and provide a financial cushion that can help offset the rising costs of education, even in times of economic uncertainty.
Funds generated from these gifts, large and small, allow donors to leave a legacy and to give future generations the opportunity to experience a Wilson education. With each endowment gift, the principal is invested and a portion of the income becomes available each year to support the school. According to the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), the median endowment for a school of Wilson’s size is approximately $5 million. At the start of the Centennial Capital Campaign in 2012, the Wilson Board of Trustees identified the growth of the endowment as a strategic initiative of the campaign. Funds from the campaign will provide a substantial start to our goal to build an endowment of at least $5 million pledged by the year 2025. |
