Endowments
Many alumni and friends have helped build a permanent financial foundation for MVNU by contributing to the University's endowment. Since 1985, the MVNU endowment has grown from $281,000 to over $23 million in 2020, with scholarships annually to almost 400 students. Funds invested in an endowment generate permanent support for student scholarships, academic pursuits, equipment or software upgrades, campus renovations, and more.
Through your gift of an endowment you may choose to preserve the memory of a loved one, honor those who have meaningfully influenced you and others, or provide a legacy gift of your own making an investment in the lives of students through your estate.
Because of the intricacies involved in an endowment, donors are encouraged to discuss ideas with Development staff at the University by calling 740-397-9000, ext. 4300. If you have questions, feel free to send an email to MVNU Development by clicking here.
