Endowment Gifts
Endowment gifts are a high priority of USC School of Policy, Planning, and Development’s (SPPD) Strategic Plan. An endowment is vital because it provides a lifetime source of income that continues to grow over time. Endowment funds are strategically invested by USC, and SPPD receives a portion of the earnings every year.
Endowed gifts
- May be named for an individual, a family, or for someone the donor wishes to honor
- Provide permanent and everlasting support for SPPD
- Secure your legacy at USC forever
Endowment giving options include:
Chairs and Professorships
A named chair or professorship recognizes scholarly excellence and is the highest honor the School can bestow upon its faculty.
Student Scholarships and Fellowships
Scholarship and fellowship support enhances SPPD’s ability to reward outstanding students, and may provide student aid based on merit or financial need.
Additional endowment giving opportunities include:
- Academic Programs
- Research Institutes and Centers
- Classrooms and Broadcast Studios
