The Annual Fund provides nearly $3 million annually for the two campuses, supporting financial aid, academic excellence, and student life. Gifts to the Annual Fund have an immediate impact and enable the college to provide access and programs beyond what other sources of revenue would provide.
Alumni, parents, and friends can designate their gift to specific areas within the Annual Fund, such as financial aid or faculty support. Endowment gifts can be designated for scholarships or other purposes.
The endowment is like the college’s savings account—money contributed to endowment is invested and the principal remains untouched. The endowment grows through market performance and through new gifts. The college draws between 4.5% and 5.5% from the endowment every year to use toward running the college.
The St. John’s College endowment is highly diversified so as to minimize risk and managed by a team of investment managers, under the oversight of the Board of Visitors and Governors.
St. John’s recognizes those who have provided for the college in their estates through the Tocqueville Society. The college offers a variety of ways to participate in planned giving through bequests, trusts, annuities, etc.
Building projects are funded separately from other priorities. Neither the Annual Fund nor endowment money is used to build campus facilities. Special fundraising takes place to secure money for identified projects: two dormitories in Annapolis and the Graduate Institute building and Winiarski Student Center in Santa Fe, for example, were made possible with special gifts made during the college’s capital campaign.
