Endowment (2011 Strategic Plan)

As the College builds its liquidity, it will improve its ability to borrow funds for future construction. Our objective will be to grow quasi-endowment (the portion that can be spent) by $9 million in real dollars over five years. A new, vigorous program of bequest giving and charitable gift annuities will provide the foundation. Transferring operating budget surpluses of at least $100,000 annually will make a further contribution.

 * How feasible would it be for Hampshire to create its own venture operations? The school is populated by many talented individuals who could create successful businesses. If Hampshire created a program to foster the enterpernueral spirit of such individuals and helped them create high probability successful business plans, the school could benefit from a venture agreement.
