    FYI If you have this setup to auto pay go double check my Other category was listed as Athletics Enhancement Endowment, but after the first autopay it was changed to Memorial Gym Floor Covering.

    It's much better to give to the Louisiana Tech Athletic Enhancement Endowment than to the federal government. Save taxes and give to Tech, its a win win.

    The fund as of end of June, 2014 is at $88k. Hopefully it will make $100k by June 2015. If anyone that has some change lying around, send the donation to the Foundation with a designation of "Athletics Enhancement Endowment".

    There was a snafu with last year's payout as it was included with athletics' endowed scholarship dollars. I got with Athletics and Foundation staff to make some changes so that will not happen again.

    The 14/15 amount is $3,310 which is 4% of $82,743. The payout next year is anticipated to be 4% again and the corpus has increased since last year.

    I am currently soliciting Athletics for needs.

    I upped mine, mainly due to parking pass tomfoolery, but I had a secondary question. Have we considered reinvesting part or all of the payout to grow the fund faster?

    No that hasn't been considered - not that it couldn't. One would need to address what the intent of an endowment is, and they can be pointed to many different objectives i.e. fund a scholarship annually (known amount), accrue earnings over a period of years to replace weight-room items every 5 years (known amount), provide operating funds (variable amount). So to reinvest the earnings only to grow more earnings would mean that some ultimate earnings goal is being pursued.

    An example would be if we wanted to pursue endowing an athletic scholarship and the scholarship need is known to be $20k a year and the estimated average payout from an endowment fund is 4% per annum; the endowment would need to be $500,000. Let's say a donor left us $300k in their will for funding a scholarship, the annual earnings could be added back to the corpus until it reached the $500k needed to fully fund a scholarship athlete. This implies no one else was going to add to the corpus to reach the $500k amount.

    The Athletics Enhancement Endowment was not intended to fund a specific need, only be used to "enhance the department" based on an annual needs assessment. I think it is correct to say that all other endowments related to athletics are for scholarships. Saving multiple years of earnings to make a larger cost enhancement purchase fits the endowments intent, but reinvesting to grow it faster does not.

    Much more could be said. I hope my ramble made some sense?

    Makes sense, just thinking of could their be bigger and better things we could buy if we waited a few years, which would mean you need a goal. Out of the blue example, but I remember one of the early concepts for the area around the stadium to have more trees, a Champions Walkway, with a statue etc, if we wanted to pay for that or part of that we could save for a few years and make a bigger donations for X number of years.

    I like your thought. We would need to have the AD share some thoughts on what could be done along those lines. I'll have to set up a meeting with him to discuss possibilities. They are consumed with the SEZ project and basically meeting the budget. In the recent past, when I have asked for small dollar improvement needs I get nothing but a big silence. Maybe upping the goal to bigger and better might get some reaction. Worth a shot.
