Library Endowments
Endowments provide endless support to the University Library and enable us to fulfill our mission in perpetuity. We encourage you to contribute to one of our existing endowed funds or make an investment in the library’s future by establishing a new fund.
The minimum amount required to establish an endowment is $25,000. The principal of an endowed fund is never spent and becomes part of the combined pool of all university endowments which are invested in Georgia State University Foundation’s broadly diversified portfolio. The annual interest is used to support the donor’s designated library initiative.
Please consider creating a lasting legacy and supporting our future through an endowment.
