This publication is for service and service-learning centers that want to create sustainable funding for their programs by establishing an endowment. The guide summarizes endowment trends and practices, outlines processes for creating and maintaining an endowment, and offers a comprehensive resource list. Because each endowment is unique to its educational environment, the guide conveys much of this information through profiles of endowed service centers from a broad range of institutions across the country. The guide also includes advice on endowment drives and tips for success from experts in service centers, development offices, and service organizations.
