IIE Endowments

An endowment is a gift of funds that is donated to provide a source of income for IIE. Your endowment gift is invested and the income generated from your gift is used to enhance IIE’s mission and support IIE programs and operations. The assets in the fund are invested to provide earnings that are paid annually. Your endowment gift is invested by IIE with the intention to preserve and grow the original gift to sustain a legacy for future generations.

Income from Endowment Funds Helps to…

• Provide stable, long term financial resources for IIE to enhance its mission


• Provide a legacy for donors or someone they choose to honor


• Support programs and scholarships critical to rescuing students and scholars and developing future global leaders.

Endowments are permanent. Through sound investment in a balanced portfolio, earnings from an endowment generate a steady flow of income, supporting and preserving the fund. This allows programs supported by endowments to remain a permanent part of IIE, ensuring long term impact. Thus, endowments not only support IIE during the lifetime of the donor, but for generations to come.
