Capital and Endowed Giving
The Office of Capital Giving engages alumni, parents and friends in discussions regarding opportunities to support the College’s mission and strategic plan via gifts restricted to focused initiatives and programs.
Restricted gifts may be directed to specific programmatic funding priorities and endowments, and may be funded over a period of up to five years at the discretion of the donor. These gifts may be funded via a combination of outright gifts of cash and securities, limited partnerships, real estate, other forms of tangible personal property, and may include a planned gift component including bequests, trusts and annuities, or similar vehicles.
Capital and endowed gifts typically form a component of comprehensive gifts that include an annual unrestricted commitment to Holy Cross via the Holy Cross Fund. Working in close coordination with the Holy Cross Fund, Planned Giving, and Parent Giving offices, capital gift officers engage potential donors in a series of conversations that aim to identify areas in which the financial and programmatic needs of the College intersect with the specific philanthropic interests of the potential donor.
Restricted gifts may be made in support of financial aid scholarship funds, professorships and other faculty support funds, a variety of endowment funds that support the ongoing operations of the College, the renovation and construction of campus facilities, programmatic needs in academics, student life, athletics, religious life, and all aspects of the College’s educational enterprise.
