Giving Opportunities

Restricted Funds

These are gifts made to support a specific program or purpose, providing the donor an opportunity to identify a focus for the contribution. The minimum level to establish a restricted fund is $10,000 and can be paid over a two-year period. Funds can be named after the donor, in honor or in memory of another individual.

Endowed Scholarship Fund

These are gifts that create a lasting opportunity for students as well as a legacy of generosity for a donor. The minimum level to establish an endowed scholarship fund is $25,000 and can be paid over a five-year period. St. Elizabeth School of Nursing will never withdraw any of the principal donation; only the interest from the donation will be used to fund the scholarship. This makes it permanent and keeps generating income and scholarship opportunities for students indefinitely. Fund can be named after the donor, in honor or in memory of another individual.
