Endowment funds for WFIU are managed by professional investors at the Indiana University Foundation. This type of charitable gift provides support in perpetuity and yields greater returns over time.
How it works
When you make an endowed gift, only a small portion of your gift will be spent, allowing the remainder to continue growing. The principal portion of your gift will supplement our programs forever.
You can create an endowment with cash, securities or other assets. Or, you can contribute to an already established endowment fund.
Make a gift to an existing WFIU Fund
WFIU currently has two endowed funds that accept gifts:
- The Al Cobine Recognition Endowment Fund supports jazz initiatives on WFIU.
- The WFIU Classical Music Endowment Fund supports classical music initiatives of all kinds at WFIU.
Create and Name your own Endowed Fund
For a gift of $10,000 or more (or a pledge that can be spread over several years), you can create your own family legacy to support a favorite program area in need of support such as:
- News and Public Affairs Program Fund
- Arts and Culture Fund
- WFIU Operations Fund
